How we began

In 1911, a dedicated group of women opened a small dispensary to serve those in need. This humble beginning laid the foundation for what would become Maimonides Medical Center. Over the last century, Maimonides has evolved into a leading health system in New York. Our physicians have pioneered significant medical advancements, and today, we continue to provide to our diverse patient community.

Community and innovation

At Maimonides, our diverse range of specialized services and innovative programs reflects our dedication to community health. We continuously invest in community health initiatives and community partnerships to address the broader social determinants of health—economic stability, education access, and quality, healthcare access and quality, social and community context, and neighborhood.

We engage with local organizations, schools, and community leaders to promote wellness, prevent disease, and ensure that every Brooklynite has access to the resources they need to lead healthier lives.

Our innovative population health programs leverage data and technology to improve care coordination and outcomes for our patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. By focusing on preventive care and early intervention, we aim to reduce hospitalizations and enhance the overall health of our community.
