We got to celebrate a team that keeps Maimonides moving while most of the city sleeps—our night shift staff.

From 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM in the Main Hospital Lobby, we hosted a Valentine’s Day–themed Night Shift Celebration filled with music, karaoke, snacks, creativity, and well-deserved moments of connection. The turnout was incredible, and the energy in the room said it all.

To our night shift colleagues: we see you. We appreciate you. And we are better because of you.

🧠💬 A new chapter for women’s health care is unfolding in Brooklyn.

We just opened our Women’s Neurology Center—the first of its kind in New York City.

The new Center brings neurology and OB/GYN experts together to support patients with migraines, multiple sclerosis, stroke risk, or neurologic concerns related to hormonal changes, including during life events such as pregnancy and menopause. Many neurologic conditions affect women differently—and too often their symptoms are misunderstood, overlooked, or treated in isolation rather than through coordinated care.

Maimonides Health marked a new chapter in women’s health care on Jan. 28 with the grand opening of its Women’s Neurology Center at the Maimonides Doctors
