Brooklyn’s only Children’s Hospital and pediatric trauma center.
Maimonides Children’s Hospital doctors are experts in more than 20 pediatric specialties, from newborn medicine and primary care/wellness to pediatric cardiology, pulmonology, surgery, cancer and more. Our Child Life specialists offer children, adolescents, and their families developmentally appropriate activities while in the hospital, education, and preparation for medical procedures, as well as emotional support while at Maimonides.
Maimonides Health hosted its 16th annual “Cancer Survivors Day” event at Maimonides Park in honor of cancer patients and survivors who have received treatment at the hospital. Following a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, the annual event returned to celebrate the gift of life and recognizes the adversity patients face during and after their battle with cancer.
Maimonides Health is proud to have two nationally recognized hospitals championing organ, eye, and tissue donation awareness. The Health Resources and Services Administration’s (HRSA) Division of Transplantation awarded Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital (MMCH) with a Bronze distinction, while Maimonides Medical Center earned Platinum status, the highest level of recognition.
Chaim Gitelis, DO, has been named Director of Clinical Cardiology at Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital (MMCH).
