Dr. Denise Howard, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist said, “The opening of this unit represents an opportunity for us to provide the full scope of OB/GYN services to the people of Brooklyn, to improve access to care and to address health disparities through our specific programs and our innovative approach to care delivery.

What was then called New York Methodist Hospital entered into a relationship with NewYork Presbyterian Hospital system in 2016, according to NYP, and officially became part of that network in 2017.
