David Schorr
Administrator
Having worked as an assistant at two other Healthcare facilities, David realizes Brooklyn Center is a special place to be. “The atmosphere, the camaraderie, the connection between staff and residents – all those things make Brooklyn Center an incredible place to live and work,” he says. David’s job is to make sure that each and every person in the facility enjoys that atmosphere and becomes a part of the Brooklyn Center family. Feel free to stop by and chat. Just don’t expect to find him in his office. He will be with the residents, talking about sports or setting up an activity, helping make Brooklyn Center the amazing place it is.

Knowledge is health.
For the absolute highest quality of care, Brooklyn Center staffs medical providers on each unit who stay in constant communication with leadership throughout the day. Team collaboration is our forte, and this commitment helps us maintain an unbeatable continuum of care.
Our team also works hard to keep therapies as consistent as possible, tracking all communications through an advanced electronic medical record system. This ensures immediate transmission of information across the entire care network.
