Save Maimonides Initiative
A community alliance to restore excellence to Brooklyn’s largest hospital
A Legacy Worth Preserving
Situated in one of the most diverse areas in New York, the hospital is dear and cherished by all communities it serves. We all want it to succeed in its mission and set an example for excellent care with inclusivity and cultural sensitivity. For many decades, Maimonides was a source of pride and a symbol of compassionate care and inclusivity.
Unfortunately, over the last decades persistent claims of neglect and abuse are circulating amongst the neighborhood. Countless stories of abhorrent behavior by the care staff and medical professionals are recited by patients and their caregivers.
Countless efforts have been made by local leaders and activists who pleaded with the leadership for collaboration to improve the hospital’s declining conditions, but unfortunately It has become clear that behind-the-scenes diplomatic negotiations with the current leadership have not been in good faith and that the interest of the patients and local communities are not top priorities for them.
Therefore, the ‘Save Maimonides Initiative’ was undertaken by community leaders and philanthropists to form a broad coalition of communities and organizations to come up with a plan of action to restore maimonides to its original mission and take every action necessary to put this cherished community institution back on track.
