Woodhull Medical Center has been part of Brooklyn’s healthcare landscape for many years, serving a wonderfully diverse community with a simple, steady promise: to provide quality medical care that people can actually trust and afford. Located at 760 Broadway, we’re not just a hospital — we’re a neighborhood resource. Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just moved to the area, we want you to feel at home the moment you walk through our doors.
What Guides Us Every Day
Hospitals can feel impersonal. We work hard to make sure ours doesn’t. Our philosophy is pretty straightforward — treat every person with respect, listen carefully, and never stop trying to do better.
- Vision: We aim to offer advanced care without losing the human touch. Innovation matters, but so does kindness.
- Mission: Good healthcare shouldn’t come with a financial burden. We’re here to make sure it doesn’t.
- Values: Honesty in every conversation. Empathy in every interaction. Excellence as the standard. Teamwork across departments. And a genuine openness to new ideas that help our patients heal faster and more comfortably.
Built for Comfort, Safety, and Peace of Mind
Hospitals can be overwhelming. We’ve designed ours to feel less like an institution and more like a place where healing happens naturally. Our facilities are modern, clean, and arranged with your convenience in mind.
You’ll find:
- Intensive care units equipped for the most vulnerable patients, staffed by specialists who are present and attentive around the clock
- Operating rooms designed for complex procedures, with minimally invasive options that often mean shorter recovery times
- Diagnostic technology that helps us spot problems early — MRI, CT scans, digital X-rays, and a lab that prioritizes accuracy
- An emergency department that never closes, because medical crises don’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule
- A pharmacy that’s always open, and ambulance services ready to respond immediately
Care Across Every Stage of Life
One of the things we’re most proud of is the range of services we offer. From a child’s first fever to a grandparent’s heart surgery, you don’t need to go elsewhere. We’ve built a team that covers virtually every specialty, and they talk to each other. That coordination makes a real difference.
- General Medicine – Your home base for routine care, checkups, and managing ongoing conditions
- Cardiology – From preventive screenings to bypass surgery, we treat the whole spectrum of heart health
- Neurology – Compassionate care for conditions affecting the brain and nervous system
- Orthopedics – Helping you regain mobility, whether it’s a sports injury or a joint replacement
- Women’s Health – Support through every stage, including pregnancy and childbirth
- Pediatrics – A child-friendly environment where young patients feel safe
- Cancer Care – Integrated treatment options, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, all coordinated closely
- ENT, Eye Care, Dental, Skin – Specialized attention for daily health concerns
- Gastroenterology – Help for digestive issues, from diagnosis to long-term management
- Emergency & Critical Care – A dedicated team trained to handle life-threatening situations calmly and effectively
The People Behind Your Care
Let’s be honest — a hospital is only as good as its people. And we’ve been fortunate to attract some of the best. Many of our doctors trained at leading institutions across the U.S. and abroad. But more importantly, they listen. They take the time to explain things in plain language. And they’re supported by nurses and staff who genuinely seem to care — not because it’s their job, but because it’s who they are.
Technology That Makes a Difference
We’re not the type to adopt new technology just because it’s trendy. We invest in tools that genuinely improve your experience and outcomes.
- Robotic-assisted surgery for procedures that require precision and offer faster recovery
- AI-powered diagnostics that help us detect conditions earlier
- Telemedicine options when you need a follow-up without the commute
- Electronic health records that keep your information secure and accessible to every doctor involved in your care
More Than Just Medical Treatment
Healing isn’t just about procedures and prescriptions. It’s about feeling supported, informed, and respected. That’s why we offer:
- Preventive health packages designed for different age groups and risk profiles
- Outpatient services that fit into your schedule
- A feedback system that actually leads to changes — we read what you tell us
- Wellness programs that look at the bigger picture, not just the immediate illness
Recognized for Quality, Rooted in Community
We’re accredited by The Joint Commission, which means we meet rigorous national standards for patient safety and care quality. But the recognition that matters most to us comes from the people we serve every day. We’ve been honored with various awards over the years, yet we stay focused on what’s ahead — not what’s behind.
Making Insurance and Billing Less Stressful
Medical bills can be confusing. We try to make them as clear as possible. We work with most major insurance providers and offer cashless treatment options whenever feasible. If you have questions about coverage, our billing team is here to help — no judgment, just answers.
Giving Back to Brooklyn
This community has given us so much. It’s only right that we give back. Throughout the year, we organize health fairs, vaccination drives, and free screening camps. We partner with local organizations to reach neighbors who might otherwise go without care. It’s not charity — it’s what being a community hospital means.
Always Learning, Always Growing
Medicine changes fast. We stay current by constantly learning. Our team participates in workshops, training programs, and clinical research. We partner with universities to ensure that the latest knowledge finds its way to your bedside.
Doing Our Part for the Planet
A healthy community also means a healthy environment. We’ve taken steps to reduce our footprint — solar panels, careful waste management, water conservation. Small changes that add up over time.
