Maimonides Medical Center has partnered with Mwah Flowers to enhance its gift shop offerings by selling fresh bouquets from a local business. This collaboration stemmed from the Brooklyn Communities Collaborative, aiming to reduce health inequities in the area. Mwah Flowers, led by Stephen Copeland, benefited from a small business accelerator program, where participants learned to navigate procurement and secured contracts with larger institutions. This partnership fosters community ties and encourages collaboration among local entrepreneurs, showcasing their ability to thrive.
The partnership between Maimonides Hospital and Mwah Flowers, facilitated by the Brooklyn Communities Collaborative, empowers local entrepreneurs and improves health equity in Brooklyn.
"You bring a lot of small, hungry businesses together... we can actually do this?" reflects the motivation created by the Small Business Accelerator.
