Claremont Village Deserves Better Healthcare
Cardiology, weight loss, and dermatology with Medicaid. 10 minutes by bus.. Moses Medical is 10 min by bus, 6 min drive from Claremont Village.
40% Poverty, Zero Dermatologists
Claremont Village has a poverty rate of 40.5% and virtually no dermatologists who accept Medicaid within its borders. Obesity affects more than one in three adults, and hypertension runs 30% above the citywide average. The combination fuels cardiovascular disease at rates that are preventable with consistent care.
Moses Medical is 10 minutes south by the Bx36 bus. Our dermatology practice, led by Dr. Fatima Al-Hassan, accepts every Medicaid managed care plan and specializes in skin of color. Our medical weight loss program offers semaglutide and tirzepatide with prior authorization handled in-house. And our cardiology team provides EKGs, echocardiograms, and ongoing hypertension management during the same visit as your bloodwork.
For Claremont Village residents who have been putting off a dermatology appointment, a cardiology referral, or a weight management consultation because no nearby provider accepts their plan, Moses Medical is accepting new patients now.
