As a leading academic medical center, Maimonides trains more than 400 residents and medical students each year and routinely contributes to the progress of medicine through its broad base of clinical and laboratory research. The Medical Center is affiliated with the Mount Sinai School of! Medicine and serves as the Brooklyn Center for the school. Their physicians have pioneered new medical and surgical treatments, among them the first: • human heart transplant operation in the United States • commercial pacemaker development • intra-aortic balloon pump • needle aspiration biopsies And the list continues. Little wonder then that Maimonides attracts outstanding physicians and scientists from all over the United States and the world. Founded in 1911 as the New Utrecht Infirmary, they merged with Beth Moses and Israel Zion hospitals in 1947 to become Maimonides Medical Center. The Medical Center is named after Rabbi Moshe Ben Maimon, the 12th century philosopher who established the concept of medicine as a natural science and authored ten medical books that set forth the foundation of modern medical training of physicians. Retaining their origins as a community hospital, Maimonides has grown in every way, including the number of clinical specialties, the size of our facilities and the number of patients they serve.
