Wyckoff Heights Medical Center

What Wyckoff Heights Medical Center does

Wyckoff Heights Medical Center (WHMC) is a private, non-profit safety-net hospital founded in 1889 and headquartered at 374 Stockholm Street in Brooklyn, New York, serving the culturally diverse communities of Brooklyn and Queens. The hospital operates through a 1,901-5,000 employee base (approximately 1,900 physicians, nurses, and support personnel) across a main inpatient campus and seven satellite locations including neighborhood clinics, faculty practice centers, and two WIC program offices. Clinical operations span more than three dozen medical departments, with core service lines in emergency medicine (84,000+ visits/year), a NYSDOH-designated Primary Stroke Center with 24/7 EEG services, STEMI Center cardiac care, MBSAQIP-accredited bariatric surgery, OB/maternal care (Baby Friendly USA), pediatrics with a newly renovated Pediatric ED, and bariatric/endocrine surgery.

The underlying technology stack is conventional clinical infrastructure — MRI, CT/CAT, Carotid Doppler, EMG, nerve conduction studies, EEG laboratory, and cardiac diagnostics — supported by a patient portal, online appointment scheduling, and a CDM price transparency portal. Strategic technology investments are concentrated in a $58.5 million New York State-funded emergency department modernization (Phase One Pediatric ED opened November 2025; Phase Two Adult ED expansion through November 2026), with Northwell Health providing advisory support.

WHMC's revenue model blends three streams: (1) fee-for-service acute care reimbursed through Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and self-pay across inpatient, emergency, surgical, and outpatient services; (2) grant-funded community health programs (20 programs serving 8,000+ clients annually in maternal/child health, behavioral health, HIV/sexual health, violence intervention, and asthma) sourced from federal, state, and local government contracts; and (3) the WIC nutrition program, a federal-state initiative operated from two Brooklyn offices. The hospital also solicits charitable donations via its website. Commercial and operating geographies are regional and tightly concentrated in the Bushwick-Williamsburg-Ridgewood corridor, with no disclosed enterprise customers, no M&A activity, and no parent company.
