Many of New York Medical College’s faculty provide patient care, teach, and conduct research at WMC’s adjacent campus. WMC also offers roadside-to-bedside seminars to healthcare professionals and first responders throughout the year, providing them with information on topics like stroke treatments, transporting critical patients or organ transplants. WMC provides diverse specialty services through its six "Centers of Excellence", hosts one of the leading Kidney and Liver transplant programs in New York, and is home to Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, the only all-specialty children's hospital in the region.

Westchester Medical Center is accredited by the Joint Commission, the national organization committed to improving the safety and quality of care at hospitals and health care organizations through voluntary participation.
