About ElLisHospital.org
Ellis Hospital is a not-for-profit community hospital founded in 1885. In this pivotal year more than a century ago, the Schenectady Free Dispensary, which was the forerunner to Ellis Hospital, was established in response to the growing need and demand for a hospital. The five-bed ward was the city’s first medical facility, and it marked the beginning of what has become a time honored tradition of a hospital and community working in tandem to make health care an enduring priority.
