Victory Memorial Hospital was a 254-bed medical facility. [1] It was announced in 2006 that they're closing; [2] [3] they were acquired by SUNY Downstate Medical Center in 2009 and renamed SUNY Downstate at Bay Ridge. [4]
Victory Memorial was a not-for-profit, voluntary hospital. [1] Most of the hospital's "complex of dun-colored buildings at the southeastern edge of Bay Ridge" were built in 1927, [2] but they opened earlier in a single building at their 92nd Street/Seventh Avenue Brooklyn location. [5]
Decades ago, the families whose children were born therein were largely Irish and Italian; before closing, they were "more likely to be Chinese or Russian" or "speak Urdu, Tagalog, Arabic and Spanish." [2]
In the 1960s, Victory Memorial built a new wing and added 64 beds, with recognition given for "increasing hospital facilities in Brooklyn." [6]
On June 25, 2021 Maimonides Medical Center broke ground for a new 15,000 square foot, free standing Emergency Department at Victory. The event was seen WABC-7, WPIX-11 and News12.
