The hospital was known as the Helping Hand Hospital until 1911 when it was incorporated as Peekskill Hospital. Later, in 1966 the hospital moved to its current location in Cortlandt Manor and was renamed Hudson Valley Hospital in 1992.

The hospital expanded in 2014 to include a Cancer Center and Emergency Department, among other additions to the infrastructure.[3]
