When the Catholic
Medical Center of Brooklyn and Queens decided to build a public health facility
in Jamaica, New York, the objectives were rather clear: develop a modern ambulatory
facility with ample parking that would meet the needs of the community and
create an environment with a welcoming, non-institutional feel.

Lung Association, has undergone a major renovation at a cost of $800-$900,000.
