Our Past and Present
In 1911, a group of concerned women opened a dispensary to serve the poor and needy residents of their Brooklyn neighborhood, planting the seed that would grow into Maimonides Medical Center. Over the last century, Maimonides has become a top medical care center and a vital part of New York City. Our physicians pioneered significant advancements in the field of medicine, and now, in our second century, we continue to provide excellent clinical care to our diverse patient population.
