As part of its commitment to bring more services to the communities where New Yorkers live and work, Ƶ has opened its first outpatient location in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Ƶ Medical Associates—Greenpoint is a multispecialty practice offering primary care and a wide variety of subspecialty services.
Ƶ Medical Associates—Greenpoint has experts in more than a dozen clinical areas including allergy, cardiology, ENT, gastroenterology, internal medicine, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, physical therapy, pediatrics, and podiatry.
“We are excited to become part of Ƶ, a world-renowned organization dedicated to providing high-quality and personalized care to patients,” says Shuja Qadir, MD, a cardiologist and medical director at Ƶ Medical Associates—Greenpoint. “Most importantly, this new partnership has allowed us to expand the specialties offered in our practice.”
Greenpoint patients also can easily access care throughout Ƶ’s integrated health system, including Ƶ Cobble Hill, a freestanding 24/7 emergency room; NYU Lutheran Medical Center in Sunset Park; or, for more complex care, Ƶ’s main campus in Manhattan.
No matter which location patients receive care, physicians across Ƶ’s entire health system can retrieve up-to-date medical records and test results via Epic, Ƶ’s electronic health record system. Patients also are able to manage appointments, communicate with physicians, and remotely refill prescriptions through Epic’s patient portal, MyChart.
“Our new affiliated practice in Greenpoint further demonstrates how we are bringing Ƶ’s world-renowned, high-quality care directly to our patients’ neighborhoods, which enhances local and convenient access,” says Andrew Rubin, vice president, clinical affairs, and ambulatory care at Ƶ.
As New York City’s largest and most populous borough, Brooklyn is home to approximately 25 percent of patients that utilize Ƶ in Manhattan and over half of all births that take place at Ƶ. To meet the needs of these patients, Ƶ currently has more than 40 ambulatory locations in Brooklyn, which accounts for more than one-quarter of all of Ƶ’s ambulatory sites across the region.
Ƶ is committed to bringing world-class medical care to patients where they live and work, and its reach is increasingly extending further into the surrounding neighborhoods and region. With more than 160 ambulatory locations across the 5 boroughs and greater metropolitan area, Ƶ continues to be recognized as a leader in quality for ambulatory care. In 2016, Ƶ received the Ambulatory Care Quality and Accountability Award from Vizient, Inc. for demonstrated excellence in delivering high-quality, patient-centered outpatient care.
