Robert Guimento, a veteran healthcare industry leader, has been appointed president of NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, effective August 1. Guimento was formerly senior vice president and chief operating officer for NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Manhattan Hospital.
NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital leadership, physicians and staff, joined by Brooklyn community leaders, today held a beam-signing ceremony to mark the installation of the final structural beam in the new Center for Community Health. Opening in 2020, the six-story, 400,000-square-foot facility will be the largest ambulatory care center in Brooklyn, providing world-class patient care and helping to meet the growing demand for the treatment of cancer, diabetes and hypertension, in addition to a range of other innovative outpatient services.
NewYork-Presbyterian, in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine, Columbia University Irving Medical Center and the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), is expanding its fleet of Mobile Stroke Treatment Units (MSTU) to Queens and Brooklyn. Thanks to a generous donation by the W.P. Carey Foundation, this makes NewYork-Presbyterian the first health system in the country to operate three of these advanced units.
