At the former Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Lewis Stimson performs the first public operation in the U.S. demonstrating the “Lister method” of antiseptic — a leg removal in front of more than 50 people. Afterward, the patient is observed around the clock for infection, but it never arrives. Stimson had applied an antiseptic (a carbolic acid solution) on the sponges, instruments, sutures and wound during the procedure.

An old brewery, tenement house, and saloon purchased for $1,800 is transformed into the 10-bed The Helping Hands Hospital.

Today, it is NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital.

The Food and Drug Administration approves Rho(D) immune globulin (RhoGAM), a newborn-saving vaccine developed by Dr. John G. Gorman, blood bank director at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, in collaboration with Dr. Vincent Freda, a NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia obstetrician, and William Pollack of Ortho Pharmaceutical Co. It has saved hundreds of thousands of babies in the U.S. alone. The vaccine, given to pregnant women who are Rh negative, prevents Rh disease, in which there is an incompatibility between a mother’s blood type and her baby’s. Before the vaccine was developed, Rh disease was one of the most severe and devastating conditions for newborns, leading to miscarriage, severe brain damage, or death for the newborn. Prior to the vaccine, the disease claimed the lives of 10,000 babies a year in the United States. RhoGAM is still in use today.

The first successful heart transplant in a child is performed at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, one of the largest centers for transplants for all organs.

NewYork-Presbyterian today has one of the largest and most comprehensive transplant programs in the country.
