2 Mark J. Mundy President and CEO MESSAGE to OUR COMMUNITY John E. Carrington Chairman of the Board
We have reached the end of a very exciting year at <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>. In September 2006, we marked the 125th anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone for the fi rst of <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Methodist</strong> <strong>Hospital</strong>’s buildings. Simultaneously, we celebrated the completion of our newest building, our state-of-the-art patient care pavilion. The new structure houses sophisticated modern clinical services that our founders could never have anticipated, as well as nearly 150 inpatient beds—most of them in private rooms. Our patients, physicians and staff are enjoying the comfort, spaciousness and beauty of the new building, while our neighbors have praised its attractive façade and landscaping, designed to blend comfortably into the brownstone streetscape of Park Slope. More recently, we celebrated another grand opening. The front of the Kirkwood Pavilion, located on the corner of Sixth Street and Seventh Avenue, has been expanded and a new entrance was created on the corner of NYM’s <strong>Hospital</strong> campus. Our new “front door” provides access to our clinics and the Emergency Department, as well as a passage to all of the other main campus <strong>Hospital</strong> buildings. Even more important: the reorganization of our enlarged and renovated Emergency Department has made it possible for patients to be seen and treated more quickly than ever before. For the time being, we are taking a hiatus from major construction on our campus. But we will continue to grow by increasing and continuously enhancing the services we provide for our community. As one of only three Brooklyn hospitals to We remain committed to both state of the art technology, and a strong community outreach approach. . . provide a full spectrum of cardiology and cardiac surgery services, we remain committed to both state-of-the-art technology and a strong community outreach approach to heart disease prevention and education. We have also enhanced our medical programs by introducing new technology, facilities or expert physicians in many other areas, including advanced neurosurgery, radiation oncology, interventional pulmonology and laparoscopic gynecology. And we have worked to extend services to prevent disease and improve the health of Brooklynites, through our Diabetes Education and Resource Center, our Pediatric Weight Control Programs and our Breastfeeding Support Program. As thrilling as it was for us to refl ect on our history, it is equally exciting to look forward to the bright future that we anticipate for <strong>New</strong> <strong>York</strong> <strong>Methodist</strong>. As always, we owe our success to the doctors, nurses, health professionals, support staff members, trustees and volunteers who keep the <strong>Hospital</strong> vibrant. It is because of them that we are able to remain steadfast in our 125-year-old mission: to provide excellent and compassionate care to the people of Brooklyn. We hope that you will enjoy learning more about how we fulfi ll this mission in the pages that follow. 3
