Maimonides Emergency Hospital Will Open in Bay Ridge on May 9th
Maimonides Bay Ridge Emergency Department will open on 92nd Street and 7th Avenue in Bay Ridge on May 9th.
Dr. Ahmed Rashed is the Medical Director for this fully equipped emergency department.
Dr. Rashed spoke at the Community Board 10 Meeting on April 17th. He lives in Bay Ridge with his family and was excited to share information about the new emergency room.
The Maimonides Bay Ridge Emergency Hospital will be open 24 hours a day.
People can be treated for anything that they would need help with at a hospital emergency room including strokes, heart conditions and orthopedic injuries.
Interestingly, there is a 24 hour stand-by ambulance, which can transfer a person to another hospital. The ambulance can take people to any hospital they choose, not just Maimonides Hospital.
SUNY Downstate is still in the building – upstairs from Maimonides. SUNY Downstate is a same day surgery center.
