Foxhurst Deserves Better Healthcare
Focused care options within walking distance. Visit requests, on-site lab, Medicaid plans listed. Moses Medical is 5 min walk, 2 min drive from Foxhurst.
Five Minutes on Foot
Foxhurst shares a zip code with Moses Medical. The practice is at 871B Westchester Ave, less than a quarter mile from the heart of the neighborhood. No bus transfer, no subway ride. Walk east on Westchester and you are there.
That proximity matters because Foxhurst has a 16% adult diabetes rate, double the citywide average, and asthma ER visits running 2.5 times higher than the rest of New York City. Both federal designations confirm the gap: Health Professional Shortage Area and Medically Underserved Area. There are not enough providers for the people who live here.
Moses Medical is taking new patients, and on weekdays you can walk in without an appointment. MetroPlus, Fidelis Care, and other Medicaid and Medicare plans are listed on our insurance page. Bring your card. Our on-site CLIA-certified lab means bloodwork happens during your visit, not at a separate facility across the borough. Primary care, internal medicine, wound care, and heart care are available through the same practice. For a neighborhood where chronic disease is the norm, that setup cuts down on the missed appointments and gaps in follow-up that let conditions worsen.
