Brooklyn, NY, June 30, 2025 – City & State New York has named Maimonides Health President and CEO Ken Gibbs to its 2025 Brooklyn Power 100 list, in recognition of his leadership of the health system and the borough’s largest hospital.
Mr. Gibbs has served as President of Maimonides Medical Center since 2016, and became CEO of Maimonides Health upon its establishment in 2022. During his tenure, Maimonides Health has grown significantly, maintaining a focus on expanding outstanding specialty and community care to meet the needs of Brooklyn. Under his leadership, Maimonides earned designation as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center; established Brooklyn’s only Pediatric Trauma Center at Maimonides Children’s Hospital, the borough’s only children’s hospital; and developed the largest robotic surgery program in Brooklyn. Maimonides also opened its Bay Ridge Emergency Department; the Maimonides Doctors Multispecialty Pavilion, and an infusion center, MRI, and advanced cardiac services at Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital.
Construction of a new, state-of-the-art pediatric emergency department and psychiatric emergency department will be completed this summer, part of Maimonides’ plan to triple its emergency department space and change the face of emergency care. These investments make high-quality specialty, preventative, and emergency care more accessible in southern Brooklyn than ever before.
“I’m humbled to be recognized, on behalf of Maimonides Health, among so many leaders who share a deep commitment to Brooklyn,” said Mr. Gibbs. “Quality healthcare is essential to thriving communities, and I am immensely proud to work alongside our team at Maimonides as we maintain, create, and enhance these critical services, always with the needs of all of our diverse communities in mind.”
Mr. Gibbs was included on the list for the fifth year in a row alongside trailblazing political figures, business leaders, community leaders, and more individuals shaping the future of the borough, including other Brooklyn health care leaders. View the full list here.
