Hospital execs upbeat about future of Heights and Hill healthcare
Healthcare in Cobble Hill and Brooklyn Heights: Just how good is it, particularly as it pertains to the very young and the elderly?
It’s gotten a lot better and continues to improve, according to two knowledgeable speakers who headlined the Cobble Hill Association’s Fall General Meeting on Dec. 10 at the University Hospital of Brooklyn at Long Island College Hospital.
The meeting featured addresses by Tony Lewis, president and CEO of the Cobble Hill Health Center, a nursing home and rehabilitation center on Henry Street; and Dr. Stanley Fisher, chairman of the Department of Pediatrics for all SUNY Downstate healthcare facilities.
Lewis moved to New York from London in 1991 with the mission of setting up an Alzheimer’s program at the Cobble Hill Health Center, an initiative that has gained status as a model daytime care program for those suffering from the disease. Recently, Lewis replaced Olga Lipchitz as CEO.
