Coney hospital to be
renamed after RBG

BY JESSICA PARKS
Coney Island Hospital will take on a
new name next summer honoring the
late southern Brooklynite who rose to
serve on the highest court in the land.
NYC Health and Hospitals announced
on July 30 that Coney Island
Hospital, actually in Sheepshead
Bay, will be renamed Ruth Bader
Ginsburg Hospital in honor of the
US Supreme Court justice from Midwood
and that the surrounding campus
will be dubbed South Brooklyn
Health.
Hospital administrators say the
renaming of the campus is meant to
refl ect its extensive reach in the borough’s
southern hemisphere, not just
in the People’s Playground.
“Although located adjacent to the
neighborhood of Coney Island, our medical
center is the closest comprehensive
facility for approximately 875,000 New
Yorkers who reside in South Brooklyn
and beyond,” said Svetlana Lipyanskaya,
the hospital’s chief executive offi
cer. “With today’s announcement, we
are proud to acknowledge our closest
neighbors and welcome through our
doors the broader communities for
whom we provide care and ultimately
hope to serve.”
The nod to Bader Ginsburg is also
symbolic of the system’s service, said
President and CEO Mitchell Katz.
“Justice Ginsburg fought tirelessly
for justice and equality, giving voices
to the voiceless, and as patients walk
into the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital
at NYC Health + Hospitals/South
Brooklyn Health, they will do so knowing
they will receive high quality
health services with compassion, dignity,
and respect, regardless of their
income, gender identity, or immigration
status,” he said. “We are grateful
that the family of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
has allowed us to honor her memory
in this historic way.”
The dual-renaming will go into effect
in summer 2022 when the hospital
administration expects to open a new
fl ood-resilient, 11-story hospital building
constructed as part of a $922.7 million
federal emergency grant awarded
to the hospital in 2014 after it suffered
severe damage from Superstorm
Sandy.
The new tower and an existing
tower currently serving as the hospital’s
main building will be joined during
construction and together serve as
the new Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital.
To fortify against fl ooding, the new
hospital building at 2619 Ocean Parkway
will house medical services above
the 500-year fl oodplain, beginning
with the emergency department on
the second fl oor, which will feature an
ambulance dock and a vehicular ramp
connecting to the ground fl oor, set to
house a fl ood-proof lobby.
The upper levels will host inpatient
services transferred from the soon-tobe
demolished Hammett Pavilion. The
most crucial services will be situated
on the building’s top fl oors in order to
still be operational in the event of fl ooding,
the hospital’s Senior Director of
Facilities Dan Collins previously told
Brooklyn Paper.
