Bellevue Woman's Center is a specialty women's hospital operated by Ellis Medicine at 2210 TroyâÂÂSchenectady Road in Niskayuna, Schenectady County, New York. It provides maternity and women's health services and has long been a major facility for obstetric care in the Capital Region. In 2025, Ellis consolidated most outpatient surgical services away from the Bellevue campus and onto its main hospital campus (Ellis Hospital) on Nott Street in Schenectady, while stating that deliveries and cesarean sections would continue at Bellevue.
Bellevue Woman's Center's campus is separate from by operated by Ellis Medicine in Niskayuna. It also operates sites in Schenectady, such as the McClellan Street Health Center (624 McClellan Street).
It focuses on obstetric and gynecologic care. It is one of three Ellis Medicine campuses and is identified as the site for maternity and specialized care for women and infants. It operates a Level II neonatal intensive care unit and, in 2004, had 55 beds, about 2,200 deliveries, and roughly 2,000 ambulatory surgeries.
Nurse Mary Grace (Jorgensen) founded Bellevue Maternity Hospital in 1931. In 1941, a house on TroyâÂÂSchenectady Road was converted for hospital use, and in 1973, a modern maternity care building was erected on that campus.
In 2006, a New York State Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century (the "Berger Commission") described the facility as one of only two remaining nonprofit women's specialty hospitals in the United States. However, it recommended closing Bellevue's hospital operations and redistributing its services within Schenectady County.
Bellevue did not ultimately close. By July 2007, it had relinquished its operating license, and Ellis Hospital took over operations, but Bellevue continued to operate under its own name.
