Breathe easy... You're in the care of downtown Brooklyn's leading pulmonologists.

An acknowledged leader in pulmonary care and education, The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC) has become the consultant of choice for general internists and family medicine physicians throughout Brooklyn.

State-of-the-art Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) laboratory

Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT) help your physician determine how much air your lungs can
hold, how quickly you can move air in and out of your lungs, and how well your lungs add oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from your bloodstream.

Commitment to education and research—The TBHC advantage.

Because we emphasize education and research as well as clinical care, many of the newest technologies and procedures in lung care are available right here in our downtown Brooklyn campus.

We care about your education, too.

To heal properly, you need to take your medications the right way. Our Board Certified Pulmonologists will work with you until you fully understand what medicines you’re taking and why. They’ll also make sure you can properly operate any medical devices you may need such as an inhaler or face mask.

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Sleep is a cornerstone of good health. Poor sleeping can lead to low productivity, hypertension, depression and other disorders.

If you can’t get through a night without waking up, consider scheduling an overnight stay at The Brooklyn
Hospital Center. We’ll observe you and electronically monitor the changes your body and brain undergo
during sleep.

Sleep Lab patients stay in a very comfortable, homelike environment. Please call 718.250.8224, email
mhs9001@nyp.org, or ask your primary care doctor to contact us directly.

Live longer, feel healthier!

Giving up cigarettes often requires more than just dedication and
resolve. To support your efforts, we offer nicotine replacement,
counseling and medications based on a comprehensive screening. Call 718.250.6100.
