| | History and Mission - New York Eye & Ear Infirmary |
 | | The origin of The New York Eye and Ear Infirmary dates to 1816, when two young graduates of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, Edward Delafield, a medical resident, and John Kearney Rodgers, a surgical resident, set out from New York to continue their medical training in London. |
 | | Although ears had been treated at the Infirmary since its inception, the institution was originally incorporated under the title of The New York Eye Infirmary on March 22, 1822. |
 | | In keeping with its heritage, today’s Infirmary, a member of Continuum Health Partners, Inc., is a voluntary, not-for-profit specialty hospital providing comprehensive outpatient and state-of-the-art medical/surgical care in the disciplines of Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology/ Head and Neck Surgery, and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. |
