Highbridge Deserves Better Healthcare
Full-service medical practice with 15 specialties and 4 languages. 15 minutes by bus.. Moses Medical is 15 min by bus, 10 min drive from Highbridge.
Across the Expressway, Not Across the Borough
Highbridge residents who need a cardiologist, psychiatrist, or endocrinologist often end up traveling to hospital outpatient clinics with months-long waitlists. Moses Medical is 15 minutes east by the Bx35 and Bx6 SBS buses, with same-week availability for new patients.
The neighborhood has a 15% adult diabetes rate and a documented shortage of behavioral health providers. Cardiovascular death rates run above citywide averages, driven by uncontrolled hypertension in a population where over 70% speak Spanish at home and many struggle to find providers who speak their language.
Moses Medical has Spanish-speaking providers in family medicine, pain management, and wound care. Behavioral health visits require no referral under Medicaid and cost $0. Cardiology appointments include on-site EKGs and bloodwork during the same visit. For Highbridge, the gap between needing care and getting care is 15 minutes on the bus.
