Wyckoff Heights Medical Center is a 220-bed teaching hospital located in an ethnically diverse residential neighborhood directly on the border of northern Brooklyn and Western Queens. We serve a variety of cultural and ethnic communities and are committed to quality and compassion in addressing the healthcare needs of urban neighborhoods.

WHMC has provided medical care to the surrounding community since 1889. Today, with a dedicated staff of more than 1,900 physicians, nurses, and support personnel, we provide healthcare to more than 90,000 patients annually in our adult and pediatric emergency departments. Our doctors deliver 2,000 babies annually. In addition to being a designated Stroke and STEMI center, we offer a wide range of primary care and subspecialty outpatient and ambulatory services, including community health education and disease screening programs.

We offer residency programs in dentistry, emergency medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics/ gynecology, pediatrics, podiatry, and surgery.

Across WHMC, our nurses use a patient-centered care approach that supports the whole person — promoting physical, mental, and spiritual health. Our nursing care is sensitive to the patient’s and family’s cultural, religious, and ethical responses to illness and wellness.
In partnership with the New York State Nurses Association, we offer full benefits, including health, dental and vision insurance coverage, tuition reimbursement, and paid time off.
Need more flexibility in your schedule? Join us on a PRN, or “as needed” basis through our nursing staffing office.
