THE PEDIATRIC HEALTH CARE SPECIALISTS FOR BROOKLYN
THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AT DOWNSTATE
The Children’s Hospital at Downstate is a fully accredited member of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI). We are located within University Hospital of Brooklyn, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, 445 Lenox Rd., Brooklyn, NY 11203 and at Long Island College Hospital, 339 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Our multi-specialty group of pediatric consultants are all members of the faculty of the SUNY Downstate College of Medicine, Brooklyn’s only medical school. We comprise the most extensive group of pediatric sub-specialty consultants in Brooklyn. The merger with Long Island College Hospital has resulted in an increased depth and breadth of these pediatric sub-specialty services. Our consultants are dedicated to providing the highest quality inpatient and outpatient care and service to all patients and to communicating quickly and effectively with their referring physicians. We invite community pediatricians to view us as active partners to assist you in your practice. Feel free to contact us for questions and advice, as we strive to deliver the highest quality care for the children in Brooklyn and the surrounding region.
