East Tremont Deserves Better Healthcare
Primary care, cardiology, dermatology, and weight management. Medicaid accepted, 10 min by bus.. Moses Medical is 10 min by bus, 6 min drive from East Tremont.
Tremont Ave to Westchester Ave
East Tremont residents with hypertension often go years between cardiology visits because the nearest cardiologist accepting Medicaid is a long bus ride away. Obesity and diabetes compound the problem: each condition multiplies the risk from the others, and managing them in isolation does not work.
Moses Medical is one stop south on the 2/5 train from West Farms Square, or 10 minutes by the Bx6 SBS bus. Our cardiology team provides EKGs, echocardiograms, and ongoing blood pressure management. Our weight loss program offers GLP-1 medications with prior authorization handled in-house. Our dermatologist accepts Medicaid. All three specialties are in the same building as our on-site lab, so bloodwork happens during your visit.
For a neighborhood where hypertension prevalence runs 25% above the citywide average and adult obesity exceeds 30%, having cardiology, weight management, and lab services under one roof is the difference between managing chronic disease and letting it progress.
