The Brooklyn Hospital Center is slated to receive a much-needed $9.2 million cash infusion to renovate its emergency department thanks to the efforts of New York’s federal elected officials.
Sens. Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, alongside U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, visited the borough’s oldest hospital on Sunday morning to announce that the recently-passed federal spending bill included a whopping $9.2 million for the 177-year-old Fort Greene medical center. The money will be used to finish the ongoing expansion of the hospital’s emergency department.
