Lenox Hill Hospital, on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City, is a 652-bed, acute-care hospital and a teaching hospital of New York Medical College, SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, New York University College of Medicine, Long Island University, and Pace University. It was founded in 1857 as the German Dispensary. It currently consists of ten buildings and has occupied the present site in Manhattan since 1905, when it was known as the German Hospital. The hospital is located on a city block bounded on the north and south by 77th and 76th Streets, and on the west and east by Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue. The subway station on the same block bears the hospital's name.
In 2007, the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital (MEETH) was incorporated into Lenox Hill Hospital. The hospital's president and chief executive office is Gladys George.

Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue buses,

And for your love song tone their rumble down.”
