The hospital opened on Huguenot Street in 1892 as New Rochelle Hospital.[1][2] On November 6, 2013, Sound Shore was acquired bythe Bronx-basedMontefiore Medical Center, the University Hospital for the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, was renamed Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital, and became part of the Montefiore Health System.[3]

The hospital has been identified as a national Solucient 100 Performance Improvement Leader, a center of excellence forbariatric surgery andfirst trimesterantepartum screening, and awarded approval with commendation by The Commission on Cancer of theAmerican College of Surgeons.
Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital has also been designated a Sinus Center of Excellence in the treatment of chronicsinusitis. Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital officials said it is one of only two hospitals in Westchester and only the fourth in New York to receive the distinction. Patients with chronic sinusitis are treated with balloon sinuplasty, a minimally invasive and innovative system, by physicians in the Division ofOtolaryngology. The technique, which uses a balloon to spread and open the sinuses, can replace conventional sinus surgery that requires removal of bone and tissue to open passageways. Dr.Matthew J. Kates, chief of head and neck surgery in the Division of Otolaryngology, called it the first innovation in sinus surgery in nearly 20 years. Hudson Valley Hospital Center inCortlandt Manor is the other sinus center in Westchester county.
