The system is anchored by Maimonides Medical Center, one of the nation’s largest independent teaching hospitals and home to centers of excellence in numerous specialties; Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital (formerly New York Community Hospital), a 130-bed adult medical-surgical hospital; and Maimonides Children's Hospital, Brooklyn's only children's hospital and only pediatric trauma center. Serves as a role model for the staff managed in terms of consistently demonstrating timely reporting to work, appropriate use of work time and resources, exceptional work ethic, collaborative teamwork, positive reinforcement, lifelong learning, and conducting oneself in a professional manner, especially when representing the Department and Medical Center.
