Public fund collection meetings were arranged to financially sustain the hospital. Patient admission started in 1847. Soon the hospital started developing, and by the start of twentieth century, it had several buildings catering to the burgeoning population of Brooklyn. meanwhile in 1883, the name was changed from Brooklyn City Hospital to The Brooklyn Hospital.

In 1925, William H. Field and Edwin P. Maynard, Jr., then two residents in the hospital, introduced a unit history system for keeping permanent, easy-to-retrieve patients' records. Extensive modernization took place after World War II. Several mergers occurred throughout twentieth century, adding to the ever increasing size of the facility.
