Coney Island Hospital

An institution rooted in Brooklyn, New York, since 1875, Coney Island Hospital continues to adopt the latest technological advances and research-based improvements across its many departments. The Brooklyn 200, an essential collection of local businesses and organizations, recently commended Coney Island Hospital’s obstetrics and gynecology departments, Division of Adolescent Medicine, and Comprehensive Breast Health Center as progressive areas of service. Now Coney Island Hospital counts its Division of Orthopedic Surgery among the services that have dramatically benefited from its pursuit of advanced technology.

Under the leadership of Dr. Jeffrey Passick, Director of Orthopedic Surgery, Coney Island Hospital uses sophisticated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before hip replacement surgery to custom-build the tools needed for each patient. According to Dr. Passick, Coney Island Hospital is the first facility in New York City to use MRI technology in this way, a process that has reduced operating times, increased precision in joint positioning, and facilitated quicker postsurgery recovery.

In addition to women’s health, pediatrics, and specialty surgery, Coney Island Hospital offers borough residents excellent emergency services, including cardiac care and a Stroke Center designated as a specialty facility by the New York State Department of Health. Coney Island Hospital rounds out its comprehensive catalog of care with behavioral health services, primary care, physical therapy, a full phlebotomy lab, and radiology services.

Individuals can tour the hospital virtually by visiting the official Coney Island Hospital website at www.coneyislandhospital.com. Insurance and physician information is available, as is as a detailed history of the facility. In addition, Coney Island Hospital’s Weblog features valuable in-depth articles authored by physicians on contemporary health topics like osteoporosis, beach-related injuries, and podiatric care.
