Brooklyn Growing Rapidly: The need for a modernized emergency department at The Brooklyn Hospital Center
Review & Comment
The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) recently received a $25 million Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program grant award from the New York State Department of Health to modernize our Emergency Department (ED) facilities and improve access to quality care.
This funding will ensure that TBHC addresses urgent and emergent services for Brooklynites while we continue collaborations with other community-based providers, including skilled nursing facilities and federally qualified health centers to provide the best care in the appropriate setting for our residents.
The planned ED renovation is a key building block of TBHC’s capital expansion plans and its “Blueprint for Financial and Operational Success.” More importantly, it’s vitally needed in our neighborhood.
