BP LAUNCHES BROOKLYN HEALTHLINK TO LET BROOKLYNITES KNOW THE BEST HOSPITALS ARE RIGHT HERE IN BROOKLYN!

Thirteen Brooklyn hospitals are participating in this unprecedented program

Borough President Marty Markowitz, along with thirteen of Brooklyn’s finest hospitals, launched Brooklyn HealthLink today in front of Kings Plaza Mall to let Brooklynites know that the finest health care around is available at Brooklyn’s renowned hospitals.

“There is no doubt in my mind that Brooklyn has the best medical care anywhere. I am thrilled that these world-class hospitals are working with me on Brooklyn HealthLink to get the word out that you never have to leave this borough to take care of all of your health related needs. Brooklyn HealthLink is an incredibly easy program to use and is designed to ensure that you and your family get the best possible medical attention. Brooklyn HealthLink is your direct connection to first rate medical care! Where do you find the best hospitals?… Brooklyn, of course!” said the Borough President.

This outreach campaign is geared towards making it easier for people to connect with local Brooklyn hospitals for all of the appropriate medical attention by logging onto the website at www.brooklynhealthlink.org. You can easily locate the nearest hospitals by just entering in your zip code. People can also link to each of the participating hospitals websites. There is also a toll free number, 1-866-LINK-123, which is an interactive phone system that gives people the choice of what hospital they would like to hear information about. It is easy to use, informative, customized for each hospital and regularly updated to make sure people are getting the most accurate information.

The participating Brooklyn HealthLink hospitals are – Beth Israel Hospital, Brookdale Hospital, Brooklyn Hospital, Coney Island Hospital, SUNY-Downstate Hospital, Interfaith Hospital, Kings County Hospital, Long Island College Hospital, Lutheran Medical Center, New York Methodist Hospital, Victory Memorial Hospital, Woodhull Hospital and Wyckoff Hospital.

There are also seven outdoor billboards, including one at the corner of Flatbush Avenue and Avenue U where this announcement was made, letting over half a million people daily in Brooklyn know about the benefits of Brooklyn HealthLink. The other signs are located off of the Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, outside the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, Hamilton Avenue, Linden Boulevard at Powell and at Tillary Street and Flatbush Avenue.
