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, behavioral health, and weight management clinics that accept Medicaid are scarce relative to the population.
Moses Medical is 25 minutes south by the Bx36 bus. That is farther than our closest neighborhoods, but for Fordham residents who have been waiting months for a specialist appointment, online visit requests changes the calculation. We provide behavioral health with no referral and no copay under Medicaid, medical weight loss with GLP-1 medications, and an on-site lab so bloodwork does not require a separate trip.
Our practice speaks the languages Fordham speaks. Language support is available through the care team and front desk. For Fordham adults living with diabetes, we coordinate primary care, lab monitoring, and wound care planning in one place.
