Joseph F. Dursi, M.D. '59 1 Update on the Primary Teaching Hospitals During the recent past, the College's teaching facilities have been expanded substantially. To bring alumni/ae up to date on the ma­ jor teaching affiliates of NYMC, five Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center hospitals are described below, in wmns-ws alphabetical order. Together they provide a broad range of educational opportunities to some 400 third- and fourth-year medical students and ap­ proximately 1,050 medical graduates in residency training and fellowship programs. Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Lenox Hill Hospital Center provides a full spectrum of health care services to the entire South Bronx community and parts of upper Manhattan. Founded in 1842 by a group of philanthropists, the hospital has been under the aegis of New York City since 1925.
