Hunts Point Deserves Better Healthcare
Spanish-speaking doctors, behavioral health with no copay, PrEP, and on-site lab. 10 min by bus.. Moses Medical is 10 min by bus, 6 min drive from Hunts Point.
Hunts Point by the Numbers
Hunts Point faces some of the most extreme health disparities in New York City. With a poverty rate of 42.1%, the highest in the city, and asthma hospitalization rates four times the citywide average, this community bears a disproportionate burden of preventable disease.
The mental health crisis is equally acute. One in five adults in Hunts Point reports frequent mental distress, yet the neighborhood has among the fewest behavioral health providers per capita in the Bronx. Substance use disorders compound these challenges, and residents often have to travel outside their community to access psychiatric care.
Moses Medical is just 10 minutes from Hunts Point by the Bx6 SBS bus. We provide behavioral health services with no copay and no referral needed under Medicaid. Our on-site CLIA lab means patients can get bloodwork during the same visit as their primary care appointment, critical for managing diabetes and monitoring medication effectiveness.
For a community where nearly three-quarters of residents speak Spanish at home, language access isn’t optional. Our Spanish-speaking providers and bilingual front desk staff ensure that no one struggles to communicate about their health.
