On September 11, 2001 with less than 10 minutes to prepare - NYU Downtown Hospital organized the most extensive disaster response ever undertaken by a U.S. hospital. Amid the avalanche of bleak news from ground zero at the World Trade Center, the Hospital became known to the world as the little hospital that could, emerging as an island of hope in a sea of chaos. Just three blocks from the disaster site, medical staff and volunteers worked with emergency generators under war-like conditions, treating more than 500 victims, including 150 police, firefighters and emergency personnel.
