Many of the hospital's staff members are bilingual/bicultural, speaking languages such as Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, and Russian, reflecting the diversity of Sunset Park.[1][2] NYU Langone Hospital - Brooklyn offers a range of clinical programs, including a New York State designated Stroke Center, Regional Trauma Center, interventional and therapeutic cardiac catheterization laboratory, orthopedics and a Bariatric Center of Excellence.[3] It treated 75,808 patients in 2011,[3] and has one of the busiest emergency departments in Brooklyn, treating approximately 80,000 patients a year.[4]
Lutheran Medical Center was founded in 1883 by Sister Elisabeth Fedde, a Norwegian Lutheran deaconess nurse.[4] By 1890 it had moved from its original William Street (in Red Hook) to 4520 Fourth Avenue.[5] Incremental expansion, beginning in the 1950s,[6] increased the number of beds from under 200 in 1967 to over 400 in 2017.[5] In 1974 the hospital moved to 150 55th Street in Sunset Park in a former factory building.
In 2004 the newly added Chinese Unit's 16-bed wing on the fourth floor was described by The New York Daily News as "the only one of its kind in Brooklyn catering specifically to the burgeoning Chinese immigrant population in Sunset Park." Translators are available 24/7, and the hospital provides Halal or kosher meals to those that request them.[2]
A $2.5 million cardiac catheterization laboratory opened in 2005. The new lab allows technicians to produce cardiac angiograms, which are high-quality images of the heart and coronary arteries allowing clots, blockages, and other problems to be diagnosed.[8]
In 2010, the Emergency Department (ED) went through a major expansion, which increased its space and services by 45 percent. The ED expansion included the increase of treatment bays from 30 to 46 and additional exam space for a five-room Quick Care area for a triage, treat, and release program for less urgent conditions. The expansion also included discrete child-friendly pediatric treatment bays, and an upgraded radiology suite located on site brought state-of-the-art technology into the treatment area to improve turnaround time for patients and their families.[4]
Lutheran Medical Center affiliated with NYU Langone in 2015 and was renamed NYU Lutheran Medical Center.[9] In 2017 it was renamed again and thereafter known as NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn.[10]
In popular cultureedit
ABC News' documentary series NY Med featured NYU Lutheran in several episodes. Lutheran is also featured on NY ER, which airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network. Lutheran's busy Emergency Department and Trauma Center are what attracted producers to the southwest Brooklyn hospital.[11][12] Two Lutheran surgeons - Drs. Charles Guidry and Tara Margarella - were featured on the show.[13]
