In 2016, One Brooklyn Health (OBH) began operating to enhance healthcare services in the communities of Central Brooklyn as a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation licensed under Article 28 of the Public Health Law.

OBH is the NYS Department of Health-approved co-operator of Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, Interfaith Medical Center, and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. All three medical centers have long, historical ties to their communities.

We aim to preserve and enhance access to healthcare services in Brooklyn by merging the separate hospitals and their governed affiliates into a sustainable, quality integrated health system.

In January 2018, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that OBHS was awarded $664 million in capital funding from the NYS Department of Health’s Health Care Facilities Transformation Program: Kings County project. The award represents a significant part of the Governor’s groundbreaking $1.4 billion “Vital Brooklyn” initiative* to address chronic social, economic and health disparities – and transform Central Brooklyn. The funding provides OBHS with approximately:

• $120 million to develop a 32-site ambulatory care network

• $384 million for critical clinical and facility infrastructure improvements

• $170 million to create an enterprise-wide Health Information Technology Platform.
