Maimonides to build freestanding ER at old Victory campus
Maimonides Medical Center officially announced at a groundbreaking ceremony on Friday that it will take over the old Victory Memorial Hospital at 9036 Seventh Ave. in southwest Brooklyn.
The new space will include a 15,000-square-foot freestanding emergency department, the first one in southern Brooklyn. It will be staffed all year long by around 75 health care professionals, including 20 board certified emergency medicine specialists.
“Turning the former Victory Memorial site into a modern emergency care center is a huge win for the communities of Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst and Dyker Heights,” said Maimonides Medical Center President and CEO Kenneth Gibbs. “This groundbreaking marks another key investment we are making in Brooklyn to better serve our neighbors and improve outcomes for those who need emergency care.”
