Patient Relations

Patients are the most important individuals at The Brooklyn Hospital Center.

The Department of Patient Relations is dedicated to maintaining a high degree of patient satisfaction throughout the Hospital Center. We address individual needs in a timely and respectful manner. The information obtained through problem-solving process is used to improve care and operations for all.

Patient Representatives--who serve as liaisons connecting you, members of your family and the hospital--work together to help create a positive experience for patients and their loved ones.

If you need help resolving a hospital issue, please request a Patient Representative through the Patient Relations office.
