Buffalo General Hospital
Throughout its century and a half history, Buffalo General Hospital has been known region-wide for its patient care, clinical education and research programs.
It was the first hospital in New York outside NYC to organize a Training School for Nurses; the first to use hypodermic injections, mercury thermometers, electrocardiograms, insulin and 100 percent oxygen. It was the first to use sterile surgical procedures, the first to support cancer research, first to use X-ray machines, blood dialyzers for kidney disease, and the first to use the patch-graft technique for coronary bypass surgery.
Still the largest teaching affiliate of the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, BGH is now a 501-bed acute care medical center providing a wide spectrum of clinical inpatient care and outpatient services.
It is the largest hospital of Kaleida Health, and offers specialized programs in cardiac and orthopedic surgery, lithotripsy and urology, psychology, gynecology/obstetrics, dialysis, gastroenterology, cardiac rehabilitation, rehabilitation medicine, kidney and pancreas transplantation, neurology and nuerosurgery.
