The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) is a 464-bed acute care voluntary teaching hospital. TBHC services Central and North Central Brooklyn including the communities of Fort Greene/Clinton Hill, Flatbush, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Bushwick, Crown Heights, Williamsburg and East New York/Brownsville.
For more than 160 years TBHC has played a critical role in meeting the health care needs of the over 1 million residents in it’s service area and this is reflected in the broad scope of health care it provides - from emergency services for life threatening conditions to vaccinations and immunizations to prevent disease. Services are available in a variety of settings designed to increase access at the hospital campus, at community-based locations and in patients’ homes. TBHC admits over 20,000 in-patients each year with many admitted through the Hospital’s emergency department, which treats over 50,000 patients annually.
TBHC provides Ambulatory services at the Hospital’s campus and at the Caledonian Health Centers (the affiliated network of four ambulatory care outpatient sites). TBHC makes every effort to address the specific health care needs of the community through programs such as its “Program for AIDS Treatment and Health”, its chronic renal dialysis center and a primary care mobile van, operated in conjunction with New York University’s School of Nursing. Comprehensive services benefit all age groups as frail newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit receive state of the art treatment and adults recovering from strokes and other impairing conditions regain daily functioning skills with the help of physical, occupational and speech therapy services.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center, a member of the NewYork - Presbyterian Healthcare System since 1998, will continue to develop a health care delivery system that provides access to the highest quality health care services to residents of the entire New York region.
