Richmond University Medical Center

Richmond University Medical Center (RUMC) operates as an award-winning nonprofit teaching hospital with over a century of service in Staten Island. It provides comprehensive acute and specialty medical services including trauma care, surgery (including robotic), oncology, cardiology, pediatrics, behavioral health for all ages—including the only inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit in the borough—and more. The center has received national recognition for quality and safety from organizations such as The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association[1][2][6].

RUMC does not develop drugs or biologics; thus there are no clinical trial results or therapeutic pipelines.

Its cancer program has been accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer for over eighty years—the longest consecutively accredited cancer program on Staten Island[6].

In recent years it expanded its emergency department and surgical facilities through partnership with Mount Sinai Health System[6].

RUMC maintains affiliations with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

It operates multiple outpatient centers under the "Richmond Health Network" across Staten Island and Brooklyn[8].
