Richmond University Medical Center

What Richmond University Medical Center does

Richmond University Medical Center (RUMC) is a private, non-profit 440+ bed teaching hospital headquartered at 355 Bard Avenue in Staten Island, New York, founded in 1903. It provides the full continuum of emergent, acute, primary, behavioral health, and educational services to residents of Staten Island and the broader New York City area. Through its wholly-owned Richmond Health Network — a community-based system of more than 200 providers across 20+ locations on Staten Island with additional offices in Brooklyn and Manhattan — RUMC extends its care delivery well beyond the main hospital campus.

Its core service portfolio spans emergency and trauma care, surgery (with over 80% of surgeons experienced in robotic-assisted procedures), pediatrics, geriatrics, cardiovascular care, obstetrics, and rehabilitation. Oncology is a flagship program: the Center for Cancer Care delivers chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and a full radiation oncology stack including Linear Accelerator (LINAC) therapy, Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), High-Dose-Rate Brachytherapy, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), and low-dose CT lung cancer screening, supported by nurse navigators and a Family Care & Support Program. Behavioral health is delivered through the integrated Staten Island Mental Health Society division (acquired 2019), which includes the nation's first hospital-based Head Start program and Staten Island's only Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program (CPEP). Specialized centers include the MBSAQIP-accredited Bariatric and Metabolic Institute and the Comprehensive Breast and Imaging Center.

RUMC's revenue model is service-based — inpatient and outpatient care billed through insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay — supplemented by donations via the RUMC Foundation. In December 2025, RUMC received over $54 million from New York State (the largest single award among 22 healthcare institutions) to implement the Epic Electronic Health Record system, part of a broader $300 million statewide health IT modernization initiative that also funds cybersecurity uplift and telehealth expansion. The hospital is governed as a non-profit under New York law, holds continuous American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer accreditation since 1937, Joint Commission Gold Seal approval, and 2026 HRC Healthcare Equality Index High Performer recognition.
