History
After being chartered in 1903, the hospital began service on September 12, 1906 in the Octagon House on Milbank Avenue, with four attending physicians, ten consulting doctors, two registered nurses, and seven student nurses.[7] At that time the hospital had 24 beds.
In 1914 Commodore Elias C. Benedict, a town resident, offered partial financing to erect a new hospital building on Perryridge Road. The first building was regarded by many as inadequate. One of the people influential in suggesting the gift to Benedict was Luke Vincent Lockwood, Benedict's lawyer and a close friend of hospital founder Dr. Fritz Carleton Hyde. Initially, there was public resistance to the proposed building, with some saying it was too large for the community. World War I delayed construction, although in October 1917, the new facility opened in time to be used in the serious influenza epidemic that occurred the following year.[7]
Because of growing demand for hospital services a new building on 5 Perryridge Road was opened on May 5, 1951. Over the years new wings were added to that building, with the last addition being the South Wing in 1965.[7]
Again the hospital outgrew its building, and a campaign was started to finance a new building. Groundbreaking took place in 1997, and in 1999 the new hospital building opened.[7]
In 1998, Greenwich Hospital affiliated itself with Yale New Haven Health System.
In 2013, the Greenwich Hospital Campus of Yale New Haven's Smilow Cancer Hospital opened, a collaboration between oncologists and specialists from Greenwich Hospital and Yale Cancer Center specialists in the Bendheim Cancer Center's facilities.[8]
