Brooklyn’s Best Healthcare Right at Your Doorstep
We are excited to introduce our innovative new initiative, #KeepCareClose—a grassroots awareness campaign highlighting the proximity of healthcare access right here in Brooklyn at University Hospital at Downstate (UHD).
#KeepCareClose is more than just a campaign; it is the connecting of a shared belief that our patients, neighbors, friends, and families deserve exceptional, high-quality care right here at home, without the need to travel far.
