Coming soon to Brooklyn Methodist Hospital
A newly renovated maternity unit
NewYork-Presbyterian is committed to making continuous improvements to better serve our patient community. This includes our labor and delivery and postpartum populations. As we undergo facility enhancements at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, we want to ensure you are informed and supported every step of the way, and that the experience continues to be comfortable. Explore the FAQs below to learn more about the construction of our state-of-the-art maternity center, coming in 2026 and 2027.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will construction take place and how will it impact hospital services?
Construction will take place during regular business hours 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Clinical operations at the hospital will continue uninterrupted, and we are taking every measure to minimize disruption to our patients and their loved ones. Safety and exceptional care remain our top priorities.
Will I have to deliver my baby in a shared room during the renovation?
We will continue to provide patients with privacy during this vulnerable time. Patients in active labor will receive care in private delivery rooms.
What should I expect from the temporary space during the renovation?
Privacy is of the upmost importance. The work is conducted behind secure barriers; you will not see construction equipment or materials in patient care areas and our workers will not be able to observe any patients or their guests.
What will the new facility include?
Our new Maternity Center will feature:
- 34 private postpartum rooms with en suite bathrooms and showers
- Fully renovated labor & delivery suites
- The latest technology and resources to support birthing persons and babies
- A new family lounge area for visitors.
We encourage you to attend the NewYork-Presbyterian Lower Brooklyn Methodist Hospital Maternity Care Orientation by one of our expert senior labor and delivery nurses. You can schedule this by contacting Vanessa Petgrave.
When will the new maternity facilities be completed?
We expect to have our state-of-the-art labor and delivery unit completed by the end of 2025. Postpartum rooms are expected to be ready by first half of 2027.
Who can I talk to if I have questions about the construction project?
