[VIDEO & PHOTOS IN EXTENDED ARTICLE] Maimonides Medical Center celebrated their 100th anniversary of serving the community Wednesday afternoon, and Mayor Bloomberg attended the event – which included the groundbreaking of the new main lobby of the hospital. For the past 100 years, Maimonides Medical Center has remained a vital part of the Brooklyn community. Opened in 1911 as a medical dispensary serving the poor and needy residents of the surrounding Brooklyn community, Maimonides has developed into a premier specialty care medical center and one of the largest teaching hospitals in the nation.
The event was held at the hospital at 4802 Tenth Avenue between 47th and 49th Streets, at 4:15PM.
