Wyckoff Heights Medical Center is a 350-bed[2] teaching hospital located in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City. The hospital is part of the NewYork-Presbyterian Healthcare System.
In 1887 the German Hospital Society of Brooklyn was organized by the Plattdeutscher Volksfest-Verein for the purpose of raising funds, purchasing land, and constructing a hospital to serve the large German immigrant community in Brooklyn.[3]
The hospital opened its doors in 1899 as the German Hospital of Brooklyn,[4] but was renamed after World War I.
