Maimonides joins forces with NY Community Hospital
CEO says new partnership ‘brings value to both of our institutions’
The delivery of health care in Southwest Brooklyn is undergoing a major change. On Wednesday, officials at two hospitals, Maimonides Medical Center in Borough Park and New York Community Hospital in Midwood, announced that they had signed an agreement to have their two institutions work together.
The new partnership, called a clinical collaboration, will foster cooperation between medical professionals from the two hospitals and will allow additional medical and surgical services to become available to patients, officials said.
Maimonides Medical Center, an affiliate of Northwell Health, is a 711-bed, nonprofit hospital at 4802 10th Ave. in Borough Park. The hospital also operates a Cancer Center at 6300 Eighth Ave. in Bay Ridge. Maimonides, which was founded in 1911, serves as an independent teaching and research institution and is a clinical training site for the State University of New York Downstate College of Medicine.
