SUNY Chancellor Announces Renaming of
SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn – Downstate Medical Center

The New Name, SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University,
Highlights Robust Academic Offerings and Significant Healthcare Services Provided

BROOKLYN, NY– The State University of New York (SUNY) Chancellor Kristina M. Johnson announced today that SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn, Downstate Medical Center, has officially been renamed “The State University of New York Downstate Health Sciences University”— the first critical step in a year-long Downstate Rebranding Initiative launched by Downstate President Wayne J. Riley, M.D.

The coming months will also include a change of name for Downstate’s teaching hospital, University Hospital of Brooklyn, along with a repositioning of its clinical sites and operations as part of DownstateHealth TM.

Today’s name-change marks an early milestone in a rebranding effort that will underscore Downstate’s history and global significance, while elevating its visibility among the millions of people it serves in Brooklyn, the surrounding four boroughs, and across New York State. The rebranding initiative will raise awareness of Downstate’s mission, purpose, and the prestige attached to its comprehensive academic programming in medicine, nursing, public health, biomedical science, and the health professions.
