NYU Langone Health will tomorrow begin opening the comprehensive Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg Ambulatory Care Center, a state-of-the-art facility that offers an off-campus, 24-hour emergency department as well as cancer care, outpatient surgeries, and physician practices—across 165,000 square feet and 5 floors—in Brooklyn’s Cobble Hill.
The robust physician practice includes 19 medical and surgical specialties throughout the new building at 70 Atlantic Avenue, which also offers an infusion center and radiology and imaging services at the site of the former Long Island College Hospital.
“The Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg Ambulatory Care Center greatly enhances the breadth and depth of high-quality care NYU Langone offers right here in the community,” said Andrew W. Brotman, MD, executive vice president and vice dean for clinical affairs and strategy, chief clinical officer at NYU Langone Health. “This clinical hub will be transformational for the neighborhood, allowing us to offer our top-ranked care and the best outcomes to more than 200,000 patients a year.”

Conceived to address the growing healthcare needs of the community, the Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg Ambulatory Care Center is conveniently located near mass transit, and valet parking is available for patients.
“NYU Langone‘s leadership to expand outpatient care across NYC ensures that underserved communities can access the care they need in their own neighborhoods,” said Congressman Dan Goldman, New York’s 10th Congressional District. “With the opening of the new ambulatory care center in downtown Brooklyn, I am pleased that Brooklynites of all ages will be able to access their healthcare services closer to home, including both outpatient and emergency care.”
NYU Langone will further expand in Brooklyn later this spring with the opening of the Red Hook Family Health Center at NYU Langone, where it will offer primary care, dental care, obstetrics and gynecology, behavioral health, and family support services.
The new care center is named after Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg in recognition of their generosity to NYU Langone, including a gift to expand access to outpatient care in Brooklyn. Longtime residents of Brooklyn Heights, the Steinbergs support and partner with many other Brooklyn-based institutions. Diane Steinberg is board chair of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and a trustee emeritus of the Brooklyn Community Foundation. Joseph Steinberg chairs Jefferies Financial Group and St. Ann’s Center for Arts and Education, and is a member of NYU’s Board of Trustees, NYU Tandon School of Engineering Board of Overseers, and NYU Langone’s Perlmutter Cancer Center Advisory Board.
