Mr. Giuliani served two terms as the 107th Mayor of the City of New York. First elected in 1993 after a campaign focusing on quality of life, crime, business and education, he was re-elected in 1997 by a wide margin. As Mayor, Mr. Giuliani returned accountability to city government and improved the quality of life for all New Yorkers. Under Mr. Giuliani's leadership, New York City became the best-known example of the resurgence of urban America.

Prior to this, Mr. Giuliani served in a variety of law enforcement and legal positions. In 1983, Giuliani was appointed U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he spearheaded efforts against drug dealers, organized crime, government corruption, and white-collar criminals. From 1981 to 1983, Mr. Giuliani served as Associate Attorney General, the third highest position in the Department of Justice. In this capacity, Mr. Giuliani supervised all of the U.S. Attorney Offices, federal law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Corrections, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

From 1970 to 1981, Mr. Giuliani served as Associate Deputy Attorney General, Chief of Staff to the Deputy Attorney General, executive U.S. Attorney, and Chief of the Narcotics Unit of the Office of the U.S. Attorney. He also practiced law in private practice. On March 31, 2005, Mr. Giuliani became a name partner in the law firm of Bracewell and Giuliani.

Mr. Giuliani, a native of Brooklyn, New York, attended Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School (Class of '61), Manhattan College (Class of '65) and New York University Law School, graduating cum laude in 1968.
St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan provides healthcare services to a population of more than 750,000 men, women and children living in six neighborhoods throughout lower Manhattan. Manhattan is the most diverse urban areas in the United States, and this is reflected in the unique character of each of these neighborhoods. St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan provides care and treatment to more than 50,000 sick and injured men, women and children annually. The development of SVCMC’s vision and related strategies relies on evaluating demographic, health status and market share information in all neighborhoods served.

It is noteworthy that many of the Manhattan neighborhoods have absorbed new immigrants as well as younger adults. And while the median household income for many residents is average or above average when compared to the city as a whole, economic disparities are evident, particularly in Chelsea / Clinton, Greenwich Village / SoHo and the Lower East Side. St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan is the market leader in the Chelsea/Clinton and Greenwich Village/SoHo, accounting for 22.6% and 31.4% of inpatient discharges to those neighborhoods.
The plan to enhance St. Vincent’s Hospital Manhattan’s emergency services incorporates three important components: 1)Renovating our Trauma Center, which will be named the Rudolph W. Giuliani Trauma Center; 2) Developing a Bioterrorism Rapid Response Initiative to prepare, through training and enhanced facilities, for a nuclear, biological or chemical event; 3) Expanding our Institute for Emergency Care.

The renovation and expansion of the Trauma Center will create an additional 10,000 square feet of space to better accommodate increased patient volume. The Center will be configured to include advanced trauma units for the treatment of patients with severe injuries; critical care/isolation rooms outfitted for emergency surgical procedures, as well as: 1) A dedicated pediatric emergency unit to meet the special needs of children; 2) A dedicated psychiatric treatment unit; 3) Redesigned waiting rooms, triage and registration areas; 4) CAT Scanner; 5) Enhanced radiology services; 6) Isolated decontamination shower facilities with dedicated ventilation.

An important feature of the Giuliani Trauma Center will be the new Ambulatory/Urgent Care Unit. Approximately 60 percent of all emergency room cases are not life threatening and do not require the specialized care provided by the trauma unit. To better accommodate these patients, the new Trauma Center will have a separate, dedicated treatment area for those with less severe illnesses or injuries. The new Ambulatory/Urgent Care Unit will have a separate waiting room with direct access to the urgent care area from the admitting desk. The unit will also be designed so that it can be reconfigured, in a matter of minutes to be converted into a significantly larger trauma center increasing the hospital’s disaster response capacity.
