Maimonides is Brooklyn’s premier academic medical center and teaching hospital with 711 beds.
Maimonides offers a full range of inpatient and ambulatory services. The hospital especially serves people at the beginning and end of life and during medical emergencies. The physicians and midwives deliver more babies than any other hospital in New York State. One quarter of the hospital's patients are 75-years or older — and tend to be much sicker than those hospitalized elsewhere.
Since Brooklyn is NYC's most populous borough with 2.8 million residents, it is also the most diverse. Nearly 50% of residents are foreign born and the hospital has staff that can translate into various languages including Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Spanish, French, Bengali, Urdu, Polish and Russian.
Maimonides is uniquely committed to the special health care needs of the Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish communities, with meals cooked to the highest standards of kosher supervision, a synagogue on the ground floor and Shabbos elevators in the main building. There are religious services for patients and visitors for all major holidays.
In 2009, the hospital reported operating revenues of $928.1 million and expenses of $919.6 million.
Maimonides reported 109,295 emergency room visits in 2009. The hospital has 1,275 physicians on staff.
History
Maimonides was founded as the New Utrecht Dispensary in 1911. In 1919, it absorbed several smaller dispensaries and became Israel Hospital of Brooklyn. In 1920 it merged with Zion hospital and became United Israel Zion Hospital. New facilities were built to accommodate the growing patient needs (the building that is now our Administration building on Tenth Avenue). In 1947, Maimonides Hospital was formed by the merger of United Israel Zion and Beth Moses hospitals.
Maimonides Medical Center was officially named in 1966 after Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, a brilliant 12th-century philosopher who laid the foundation for the modern medical training of physicians. Rabbi Maimon, better known as Maimonides, was deeply committed to cultural tolerance and humane care, in addition to high medical standards. It was he who said, “The physician should not treat the disease, but rather the patient who is suffering from it.”
