Interfaith continues to serve as a safety-net hospital for its surrounding community since it emerged from bankruptcy in 2014.
[3] In addition to its main campus at 1545 Atlantic Avenue, Interfaith has other buildings which house specialists who provide care and offer community education and physician referrals to several other areas in Central Brooklyn.
The Bishop Orris G. Walker Center houses most outpatient specialties along with an internal medicine clinic and Atlantic Urgent Care.
In addition to the main building, which faced Classon Avenue, the hospital had a nursing school and residence (built in 1927) and several adjoining pavilions, wings and clinics, the last of which seem to date from the 1950s.
The patients in the area began to become more reliant on Medicare and Medicaid, and these government programs paid less than private health insurers.
In 1985, its medical residents went on a two-week strike over disputed wages and long hours of work.
The medical center provides a wide array of outpatient, inpatient and emergency behavioral health, psychiatric, detoxification, and drug rehabilitation programs.
The facility consists of 34 outpatient clinics in general medicine and a wide range of other specialties and subspecialties.
