About the Business
Kings County Hospital was born of necessity, dedicated to caring for the underprivileged of Brooklyn. In 1824, New York State established a law requiring several counties, including the County of Kings (Brooklyn), to purchase lands to be used exclusively to house the poor, deferring all potential real estate taxes which could be levied on the land. The law stated that taxation of the surrounding inhabitants would be used to fund these projects.[4]
The hospital was then established in 1830 as Brooklyn County Almshouse.[5] The first hospital building was constructed in 1837, after land was purchased from the Martense family for three thousand dollars.[6]

In 1857, an investigation was initiated by the temporary president of the State Senate, Mark Spencer, to visit all establishments created by the 1824 law. The investigation surveyed the Brooklyn County Almshouse, finding a hospital and lunatic asylum among other buildings constructed since the creation of the law. The hospital was a four-story 48 by 254 foot building housing 430 patients and lunatic asylum “260 feet long, wings 45 feet, and the centre 80 feet wide, four stories high” built to accommodate 150 patients but housing 205. At the height of the straitjacket, the lunatic asylum did not employ the use of physical restraints for patients, allowing them to freely mingle and take exercise at their leisure

10 Dec, 2024From the moment I first stepped foot into King County Hospital, I knew I was in good hands. The staff at this hospital is incredibly welcoming and attentive, and they truly go above and beyond to make sure that every patient feels comfortable and cared for. During each of my visits, I have been consistently impressed by the level of care and professionalism that I received. The doctors and nurses at King County Hospital are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but also kind and compassionate individuals who take the time to listen to their patients and address any concerns they may have. Overall, my experience at King County Hospital has been nothing short of exceptional. I am grateful for the excellent care I have received and would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of medical attention.

12 Nov, 2024Many many years ago I visited this hospital and left so angry, frustrated and sad. Reception made me feel like I was something under their shoe they needed to get rid of it. About two years ago I had an emergency and revisited. I was terrified of what to expect. Let me tell you, THINGS HAVE CHANGED! FOR THE BETTER! MUCH BETTER! Everything including wait time, was like chalk and cheese! So different. I've been attending this hospital somewhat regularly as this is also now my primary care clinic. Dr. S. Nainan my PCP is a wonderful Doctor. Even if it's via a zoom call, my concerns are immediately addressed. I feel heard. I feel heard. I feel respected. I am properly cared for. From reception to attendants, security, technicians, office staff, and medical team, they ALL care for me so well! Special mention MUST BE MADE of E. Mantel. That lady goes above and beyond ALWAYS! Words cannot express my appreciation for the entire team at Orthopedics. On another note I used to run from needles. I used to be deathly afraid of them. Now, now having my blood taken by the lab at KCH and getting vaccinated is all a breeze. A BREEZE I TELL YOU! I look forward to the needles because the Nurses are professional and I don't feel a thing! One time when I was sick and frustrated (you know how it goes when you're under the weather and grumpy), the Nurse treated me so lovingly I felt as if I was in my mummy's arms. I started to cry. Tears of release and gratitude for the care I received. I'll continue to share about my experiences here because they need to be recognized for their outstanding service to our community. An important thing to consider is this is also (for want of a better phrase) a "One Stop Shop". Whether it's an emergency, or blood work, medication, finance, MRI, x-rays, scan-all types, gynecology, Dexa scan, dental anything to do with your health and to avoid you having to trek all over the city just to complete a visit is available here. Thank you NYC Health + Hospital -Kings County! THANK YOU SO MUCH! The End.

19 Nov, 2024So sorry that I forgot the name of the ophthalmologist that attended to me today. He is a very special person. He is a very courteous and kind person who displays professionalism. He was very detailed in his explanation of my condition and what can be done to correct and improve the health of my eyesight.. He is highly recommended. Timing was on point and I did wait 3 hours to be attended to. There seems to be a little improvement in the ophthalmology department. Keep up the good work.

30 Oct, 2024I had an excellent experience at the Dental Department at Kings County Hospital! The staff was welcoming, and Mr. Jonathan and Stephanie provided exceptional care. He patiently explained everything, which eased my anxiety. The facilities were clean, and the entire team was professional. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking dental services!
