Mott Haven Deserves Better Healthcare
Federally designated healthcare shortage area. Spanish, French, and Creole-speaking doctors nearby.. Moses Medical is 12 min by bus, 8 min drive from Mott Haven.
What Mott Haven Is Up Against
Mott Haven is a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area, meaning there are not enough primary care providers for the population. Life expectancy here is seven years below the citywide average, and preventive care access has been limited for decades.
HIV diagnosis rates here are double the city average, yet PrEP access remains limited. Mental health services are scarce despite some of the highest rates of serious psychological distress in the Bronx. And premature cardiovascular death, meaning heart attacks and strokes before age 65, runs 50% above the NYC average.
Moses Medical is 12 minutes from Mott Haven by the Bx19 bus. We provide PrEP at $0 under Medicaid with quarterly monitoring included, behavioral health with no copay and no referral, and cardiology with on-site EKGs and echocardiograms. Our providers speak Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole, reflecting the languages spoken in Mott Haven households.
For women in Mott Haven, where the teen birth rate is the highest in the city, we offer comprehensive reproductive healthcare and preventive screenings covered at $0 under Medicaid. No one should have to travel across the borough for basic women’s health services.
