General Description

The North Bronx Healthcare Network (NBHN) is one of six regional networks established by the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation in 1994 to improve patient care and better respond to community needs. NBHN consists of Jacobi Medical Center (JMC), North Central Bronx Hospital (NCB) and affiliated community health care centers.

NBHN is the sole public provider of health care services in the North Bronx, with an annual average of:

35,400 inpatient discharges
162,000 emergency visits
558,500 outpatient visits
4,300 ambulatory surgery visits
8,000 pediatric dentistry visits

Both JMC and NCB have large, active pediatric services that provide care to children from a wide range of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. NBHN is recognized by the communities it serves as a socially responsible, experienced provider of health care for vulnerable populations, medically underserved, uninsured, Medicaid/Medicare recipients and uniformed services personnel.

Jacobi Medical Center is a major academic affiliate of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine (AECOM), with the majority of its physicians appointed to the AECOM faculty. Jacobi's Emergency Department is a Level 1 Trauma Center, and the only Pediatric Trauma Center in the Bronx or Southern Westchester.

The Pediatric Dentistry Program at Jacobi Medical Center is a two-year program commencing July 1st of each year. Four residents are selected each year to our hospital-based post-graduate program. The application deadline is October 15th of the year preceding matriculation. All applicants must be graduates of an accredited U.S. or Canadian dental school. The program participates in both the post-doctoral application support service (PASS) and the post-doctoral dental matching program.
