Fordham Deserves Better Healthcare
Accepting new patients with online visit requests, focused care options, and Medicaid support.. Moses Medical is 25 min by bus, 15 min drive from Fordham.
68,000 Residents, Not Enough Providers
Fordham is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods in the Bronx, with nearly 70,000 residents. Over 70% speak Spanish at home. The provider shortage hits hardest in outpatient specialties: cardiology, mental health, and weight management clinics that accept Medicaid are scarce relative to the population.
Moses Medical is about 25 minutes south on the Bx17, which leaves from Fordham Plaza. That is farther than our closest neighborhoods, but for Fordham residents who have been waiting months for a visit, online visit requests can make the next step easier. We provide mental health visits, medical weight loss conversations, and lab coordination in one care setting.
Language support is available through the care team and front desk. Call before your visit and we will tell you what we can arrange. For Fordham adults living with diabetes, we coordinate primary care, lab monitoring, and wound care planning in one place.
