St. Barnabas Hospital is located in the Belmont or "Little Italy" neighborhood of the Bronx, and this area is a tourist attraction because of the many fine shops, bakeries, and restaurants which it harbors. A few blocks away are Fordham University, the New York Botanical Garden, and the New York Zoological Society ("The Bronx Zoo").

The Hospital sits on several landscaped acres adjacent to the recently constructed St. Barnabas Nursing Home; and the brand new seven story Ambulatory Care Center is immediately across the street.  

The administration of St. Barnabas Hospital is committed to the tri-partite mission of providing high quality medical care to the community, generating the resources to train competent  physicians, and supporting clinical studies to enhance medical knowledge. 

Many admissions to the hospital are through the active emergency room, which serves the surrounding community. The Leo M. Ferrante Emergency Room is an American Heart Association "Heart Care Station" and an active "911" receiving area, as well as a designated trauma center, so that a wide variety of acute care problems are seen there.
