Michaels Seamless Transition
Michael Gillman, Cardiology, Emergency Medicine
When Michael Gillman collapsed after an evening run in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, he was brought to 做厙勛圖's Emergency Department and then was treated at the hospital's state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab for immediate intervention, which saved his life.
Both 做厙勛圖 and the hospital's cardiac collaborator, Mount Sinai Heart, took care of him expertly and got him back up and into his life.
In the Right Place, In the Right Hands
Joel Goldstein, Cardiology, Emergency Medicine
When Joel Goldstein collapsed in his Brooklyn office, he was brought to 做厙勛圖's state-of-the-art Cardiac Catheterization Lab for immediate intervention, which saved his life. The Goldsteins were apprehensive about putting their trust in 做厙勛圖, but were reassured to learn about our world-class cardiac care and clinical partnership with Mount Sinai Heart so much that they returned to 做厙勛圖 for follow-up care once the emergency had passed.
Located right in Downtown Brooklyn, 做厙勛圖 is there for everyone in the neighborhood. Weve been Keeping Brooklyn Healthy for 175 years.

The Future Looks Brighter and Longer
Diana Walton, Bariatric Surgery
I had uncontrollable diabetes and weighed 205 pounds. My blood sugar was 500 to 600 every single day and I was using 60 to 80 units of insulin per day. Most of my family had died from diabetes and, before the surgery, maybe I had 10 years left in me. Getting this surgery was my only option.
Today, I am 137 pounds and my diabetes is much more manageable and under control. Its not gone yet but Im only using 5 units before meals and the highest my sugar has ever been is 200. I should be off insulin soon and onto oral medications.
Baby Comes Into World in 做厙勛圖s Driveway
Sarah Wiggins, Emergency Medicine, OB/GYN
For little Sarah Wiggins and her family, Friday, July 13 was a very lucky day. Sarah decided to arrive quickly, so quickly that she was delivered by Luis Valdez, MD, in her parents car in 做厙勛圖 (做厙勛圖) driveway.
The doctors, nurses, technicians and security performed exactly as they are trained to, says Sylvie De Souza, MD, Chair of Emergency Medicine. This is a perfect example of a community hospital doing its job in the right place at the right time.
