Brooklyn Hospital Center
The Brooklyn Hospital Center is a 464-licensed-bed, full-service community teaching hospital located in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. The hospital was founded in 1845. It is affiliated with the Mount Sinai Health System, and serves a diverse population from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds.
The hospital was founded in May 1845 as "Brooklyn City Hospital", following a public meeting convened by Mayor Smith of what was then Brooklyn City. Public fund collection meetings were arranged to financially sustain the hospital. Patient admission started in 1847. The hospital developed and grew, and by the start of the twentieth century it had several buildings for providing services to the burgeoning population. In 1883, the name was changed from Brooklyn City Hospital to The Brooklyn Hospital.
In 1925, William H. Field and Edwin P. Maynard, Jr., at that time two residents in the hospital, introduced a unit history system for keeping permanent, easy-to-retrieve patient records.
Extensive modernization of the hospital took place after World War II. Several mergers occurred, adding to the ever-increasing size of the facility. The Raymond Street Jail was on the site of the northern third of the Brooklyn Hospital Center.
In 1982 they merged with Caledonian Hospital, becoming Brooklyn Caledonian Hospital (and retaining both locations until the Caledonian location was closed in 2003). In 1990, the name was changed to The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC). In 1998, the hospital became a corporate member of the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System. In 2014 it left the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System and affiliated with the Mount Sinai Health System.
The hospital continued to expand primary and outpatient services as well as acute care services, and in 2013 The Brooklyn Hospital Center became an active participant in NYSDOH's Prevention Agenda 2013–2017. Health priorities of the initiative include the Prevention of Chronic Diseases such as Heart Disease, Cancer, Respiratory Disease, Diabetes, and the Reduction of Childhood Obesity. In 2008 The Brooklyn Hospital Center received $27,509848 from GME medicare payments.
In 2011, 2012, and 2013 The Brooklyn Hospital Center received the American Heart Association: Gold Plus Achievement Award for Stroke Care.
In 2012, The Brooklyn Hospital Center's Williamsburg Family Health Center was recognized by the NCQA and American Diabetes Association (ADA) in Diabetes Physician Recognition Program for providing quality care to patients with diabetes.
