While at Greenwich Hospital, Brown supported the growth and development of programs in obstetrics, fertility, oncology, neurology and cardiac care. She implemented an innovative fall prevention program for patients at risk of falling during hospitalization that has garnered national recognition and has been adopted by other hospitals across the country.
