LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION commemorating the 183rd Anniversary of the Kings
County Hospital Center

WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and honor
those organizations of long-standing concerned commitment who have
faithfully served in the delivery of medical services to the citizens of
the State of New York; and
WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its long-
standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to commem-
orate the 183rd Anniversary of the Kings County Hospital Center; and
WHEREAS, Kings County Hospital Center was founded 183 years ago, when
Brooklyn was its own city and construction of the Brooklyn Bridge would
not begin for almost 40 years; over the decades, Kings County has
claimed many firsts in the field of medicine, including: the site of the
first open-heart surgery performed in New York State; Kings County
physicians invented the world's first hemodialysis machine; conducted
the first studies of HIV infection in women; and produced the first
human images using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); in addition, Kings
County was named the first Level 1 Trauma Center in the United States;
and
WHEREAS, Kings County remains staunchly committed to patient-centered
care and is mid-way through a large rebuilding and modernization that is
the largest in Kings County Hospital Center's history; the project was
launched in 1997 and was completed in 2009; and
WHEREAS, An ongoing affiliation agreement between Kings County Hospi-
tal Center and SUNY-Downstate Medical School enhances the clinical, as
well as the academic activities of both institutions; and
WHEREAS, Kings County Hospital Center continues to grow and strengthen
its ability to deliver high quality comprehensive health care into the
future; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the 183rd Anniversary of the Kings County Hospital Center;
and be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be tran-
smitted to the Kings County Hospital Center.
