Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center

585 Schenectady Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11203

Focusing on long-term care, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center was founded in 1925 as the Home for Incurables. By the 1960s, the institution had added acute, outpatient, emergency, ambulatory, and home-care services. It adopted its current name in 1968 to reflect its broadened scope of healthcare.

While it is now an 864-bed multi-specialty medical center, Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center, a not-for-profit facility, maintains its original commitment to long-term care: The 538-bed, hospital-based Rutland Nursing Home is part of Kingsbrook.
