The Interventional Pain Medicine Fellowship Program operates out of the new Montefiore Hutchinson Campus, a state-of-the-art, 22,000 square foot facility located near our Einstein Campus and adjacent to beautiful Pelham and Westchester County.
A philosophical pillar for this building was to integrate our institution’s individual Pain services in a central location. Rehabilitation, Anesthesiology, and Neurology/Headache division have a shared floor. Three Ambulatory Surgery suites, an eight-bed post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and a 12 office examination wing are some of the amenities in our suite. More than 90% of our fellows’ time is spent in this incredible location.
