Highbridge Deserves Better Healthcare
Full-service medical practice with specialty coordination and an on-site lab.. Moses Medical is 25 min by subway, 10 min drive from Highbridge.
Across the Expressway, Not Across the Borough
Highbridge residents who need a cardiologist, psychiatrist, or endocrinologist often end up traveling to hospital outpatient clinics with months-long waitlists. Moses Medical is east of Highbridge, reachable on the 4 to 149th St and then the 2 or 5 to Prospect Av, with online visit requests for new patients.
The neighborhood has a 15% adult diabetes rate and a documented shortage of mental health providers. Cardiovascular death rates run above citywide averages, driven by uncontrolled hypertension in a population where over 70% speak Spanish at home and many struggle to find providers who speak their language.
Language support is available through the care team and front desk. Mental health visits may not require a referral under Medicaid. Blood pressure and cholesterol follow-up can include on-site bloodwork when appropriate. For Highbridge, the gap between needing care and getting care can be one bus ride.
