Women's History Month

This Women’s History Month at Downstate, we are delighted to showcase a special video featuring two distinguished female leaders in our community, Betty Jung, RN, ILDA, and Sarah L. Marshall, DNP, MS, RNP, from our Center for Community Health Promotion.

Celebrating Thank A Resident Day

Resident physicians nationwide are celebrated for Thank a Resident Day on the last Friday in February. As a critical element of graduate medical training, residency provides deep exposure to medical practice, often leading to long hours and significant responsibilities. Residents play integral roles on healthcare teams, providing care to hundreds of thousands of patients each year. They are also essential resources for medical students, especially during a clinical clerkship.

At Downstate, residents provide care and dedicated support to our patients and their families. The Brooklyn community is better because of the care these dedicated and passionate physicians provide.

Celebrating Social Workers Month

Social workers play a crucial role in healthcare settings by providing essential support and services to individuals and families facing various challenges. They assess patients’ needs, develop care plans, connect them with needed resources, and offer emotional support. They help patients cope with illness, disability, or loss and assist them in making difficult decisions about treatment options and end-of-life care.
