“Our focus over the last decade has been unwavering: improve quality, strengthen safety and ensure Brooklyn residents can access world-class care close to home,” said Rudy. “Every investment and improvement we’ve made has been guided by what will best serve our patients and our community.”
The hospital claims that in the past 10 years, it has had one of the lowest mortality rates in the nation.
“More than 80% of discharged patients at the hospital are insured by Medicaid or Medicare, reflecting the hospital’s critical role in caring for diverse communities across the borough,” it said. “It has also become the only five-star hospital in the borough, as ranked by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. NYU Langone’s numerous investments in Brooklyn have proven key to the hospital’s transformation, significantly improving quality, safety and coordinated care for all patients.”
