StreetLevel: NY Methodist Infusing the Novo
Well, this is one way to doctor the Novo: New York Methodist Hospital is opening an ambulatory care and infusion center in the ground floor of 4th Avenue’s largest condo.

Well, this is one way to doctor the Novo: New York Methodist Hospital is opening an ambulatory care and infusion center in the ground floor of 4th Avenue’s largest condo. The outpatient facility will replace the one currently across the street from the hospital’s 7th avenue building, according to Lyn Hill, the institution’s VP for communication and external affairs, and serve outpatients who need infusions (mostly people undergoing chemotherapy). Hill says the facility should be open by the end of this year and will likely have regular daytime business hours. Doesn’t seem like this’ll do much to change 4th Avenue’s lack of pedestrian-friendly features in the same way retail would, but at least it’s a potentially valuable medical facility for the community.

Nothing like a stream of chemotherapy patients in your lobby to make your million dollar apartment feel all chic and cool.
3:09 — the post says “I’m not sure that it’s going to help property values in the NOVO.” — In the NOVO! If you live there, then you surely walk by it more than 3 times a year. Asshat.
“I’m not sure that it’s going to help property values in the NOVO.”
Given that 15 Central Park West’s new retail tenant is Best Buy and the new Starck building at Grammery has a McDonalds on the ground floor, I really don’t think it matters all that much.
Those are two of the most expensive buidlings in Manhattan.
3:13 is correct. Sometimes you people are so self-righteous and self-absorbed, it’s nauseating. But this one takes the cake. Are you for real? Sometimes I think you make ridiculous posts because either you are bored or you just have to say something for the sake of saying something. My father was treated at the Methodist chemo “clinic” …a vital, necessary service in ANY community. For those of you who don’t know, there ARE doctors’ offices in that 7th Ave building, and they do take PRIVATE patients. I’m sure the “clinic” would have been housed within the hospital proper if there were adequate space for it so it wouldn’t disturb your sensibilities. Just pray that you never need one. You people are pathetic.
as one of the “heartless”, i too hope i never have to visit this clinic. however, if i do, hopefully it will have been moved to carroll gardens or cobble hill — or maybe even park avenue (the one in manhattan, that is).
A chemo infusion center is not a clinic! Who are you people? I am amazed at how heartless some people are.
My only hope is that all you “heartless”
people never have the need to visit this chemo infusion center. I am sure many really, really sick cancer patients will be pleased that they don’t have to travel into Manhattan to get their chemo treatments. It is about time that Brooklyn has some reputable treatment centers for its sick. Since you all have nothing else constructive to do, why not educate yourselves on what a chemo infusion center is.
Fits in with the whole nursing home vibe of the building.
When’s the last time you walked by the Novo, 3:07.
I live in the neighborhood, and if I walk by this area more than 3 times a year, that’s a lot.
While I think it is good to keep this in the community, and it surely provides a valuable service (more than, say, another nail salon), I’m not sure that it’s going to help property values in the NOVO. It’s important and good, but also somewhat depressing to have to walk by it every day.
