Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled the Downstate Community Advisory Board’s plan for the more than $1 billion State reinvestment in SUNY Downstate’s hospital and the health of the Central Brooklyn Community. Following months of community input and engagement, the advisory board advanced a plan that will stabilize and renovate the facility and deliver a modern hospital to Central Brooklyn, ensuring access to quality, affordable health care for years to come.
The plan from the advisory board will:
- Retain all current inpatient and outpatient services, including maternity and kidney transplant services
- Convert all double occupancy rooms to private rooms with showers and add additional rooms, resulting in 225 operational beds (with the goal of increasing the current 165 average daily census)
- Modernize and expand the emergency department to 45 stations
- Establish/renovate dedicated inpatient specialty units for cardiology, oncology, and orthopedics
- Build a new hospital annex, including a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center that expands services in oncology and cardiology
- Address the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure issues that have resulted in repeated system failures
- Improve leadership and operations to achieve greater operational sustainability
