Woodhull Medical Center, also known as NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull, is a specialized and general hospital located in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York City, United States. It is part of the NYC Health + Hospitals system and is affiliated with NYU Langone Medical Center. The hospital has 323 beds and was founded in 1982.

History

Woodhull hospital was proposed in 1967 by Mayor John V. Lindsay and Governor Nelson Rockefeller as a modern facility with single-occupancy patient rooms. It aimed to provide accessible and personal healthcare to the surrounding communities of Williamsburg, Fort Greene, Bushwick, Greenpoint, and Bedford-Stuyvesant. Due to budget issues, the hospital was not opened until 1982, costing $308 million. The emergency room was designed to accommodate 65,000 patients per year. The hospital was named after Richard M. Woodhull, the original landowner of the area. In 2017, Woodhull became the first hospital in Brooklyn to receive the baby-friendly designation.
