NYC Health + Hospitals/South Brooklyn Health, particularly at the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital on Monday, Aug. 26, launched its plan to create a comprehensive women’s health service on its campus.

The plan includes the upgrade of patient rooms and ancillary space to enhance total family care. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and nursery will be redesigned to accommodate the needs of families to reflect the hospital’s Baby-Friendly designation.
