Maimonides Medical Center is a nonprofit academic medical center in Brooklyn, New York, and the flagship institution of the Maimonides Health system. The system comprises three hospitals - Maimonides Medical Center, Maimonides Children's Hospital and Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital - together with a network of community-based practices and outpatient centers numbering more than 80 locations. The organisation reports more than 1 million patient visits a year across its hospitals and outpatient sites.
Clinical services span emergency and trauma care, oncology, cardiac and vascular care, neurosciences, orthopedics, women's health, pediatrics and primary care, supported by outpatient and community-based care across Brooklyn. As an academic medical centre, Maimonides runs graduate medical education programmes that train more than 500 residents and fellows each year, conducts clinical research and holds an academic affiliation with SUNY Downstate College of Medicine. Current job listings also indicate an affiliation with Northwell Health.
The organisation sets out H.E.A.R.T. values - Honesty, Empathy, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork - as the basis of its working practices. Staff are expected to work across professional and departmental boundaries among doctors, nurses, clinical teams, administrative staff and volunteers, to take ownership of their work, and to question outdated processes in favour of better ways of serving patients and families. The stated culture combines clinical practice, research, professional education and community partnership, with an emphasis on safe clinical practice and continuing professional development.
