Hospital for Special Surgery is a leading center in musculoskeletal care with a reputation for excellence that spans time and borders. In its entirety, Special Surgery’s immediate community consists of the five boroughs of New York City, as well as the many suburban counties in the tri-state area (i.e., New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). Our reach also extends to regions across the nation and around the globe.
In recent years, Special Surgery’s core service area has experienced a major surge and shift in population, including 73,000 new immigrant residents (2008) and a significant increase in the older adult population. As New York City and its surrounding areas expand, so does the need for prevention and education programs that address the health care concerns of more diverse and older communities.
