New York State awarded $664 million to One Brooklyn Health System, Inc. (OBHS) to advance a transformative restructuring of healthcare across Central and Eastern Brooklyn. As part of the statewide “Vital Brooklyn” initiative – and informed by the landmark Brooklyn Study: Reshaping the Future of Healthcare – OBHS launched an ambitious program to modernize hospitals, expand ambulatory care access, strengthen infrastructure and deliver more equitable, patient‑centered care. The program focused on upgrading facilities, improving patient safety, enhancing clinical integration and reducing long‑standing healthcare disparities.
What challenges are STV addressing?
OBHS required coordinated oversight of major capital improvements across three hospital campuses – Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center, Interfaith Medical Center and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center. The complexity of integrating clinical service lines, modernizing aging facilities, and implementing system‑wide operational changes demanded comprehensive program management and rigorous controls aligned with statewide policy and community health goals.
What solutions are STV delivering?
STV provided program management and project controls services across all three hospitals, guiding the execution of capital upgrades, infrastructure improvements and facility modernizations. The team supported the development of integrated clinical service lines, improved operational efficiency, and ensured alignment with Vital Brooklyn’s goals for expanded primary care capacity, enhanced patient experience, and optimized use of healthcare resources.
How will this project benefit Brooklyn and the region?
The program strengthens the borough’s healthcare network by expanding access to high‑quality care, improving community health outcomes, reducing outmigration, and supporting more than 255 new jobs and 300 additional primary care providers. The initiative represents one of the most significant investments in Brooklyn healthcare in decades.
