About Us

The Brooklyn Hospital Center is in the business of keeping people healthy. When you arrive in need of care, we move quickly to help you start healing so that you can return home. As Brooklyn’s first hospital, we offer a full spectrum of health care services with an outstanding team of dedicated doctors, nurses and staff, all working hard to get you back to your family as soon as possible.

And if experience matters—we’ve been doing this longer than any other hospital in Brooklyn!
