One in four adults reports frequent mental distress, and diabetes prevalence runs more than double the citywide average. The neighborhood needs more providers. Moses Medical is half a mile south.

The walk from Crotona Park East to 871B Westchester Ave takes about seven minutes. That short distance puts focused care options, on-site lab support, and mental health services within reach of a neighborhood that has been underserved for decades.
