Saint Vincent’s Hospital was one of the first hospitals in New York City to operate an ambulance service. In 1870, its first horse-drawn ambulance hit the cobblestones, followed by the first motorized ambulance in 1900. In 1911, Saint Vincent’s Ambulance, manned by hospital interns, responded to the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The hospital also treated victims after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001.
