From a Vision to a World-Class Hospital

Nestiva Hospital was founded in 1998 by Dr. Eleanor Hartfield and a group of visionary physicians who believed that every patient deserves access to the highest standard of care — regardless of background or circumstance. What began as a 60-bed community clinic in New York has grown into a 1,200-bed multi-specialty medical center serving over 150,000 patients annually.

Through two decades of relentless innovation, compassionate care, and community partnership, Nestiva has earned its place among the top-ranked hospitals in North America. We have performed over 85,000 surgeries, delivered more than 22,000 babies, and trained thousands of medical professionals who now serve communities around the world.
