Highbridge Deserves Better Healthcare
Full-service medical practice with specialty coordination and an on-site lab. 15 minutes by bus.. Moses Medical is 15 min by bus, 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 15 minutes east by the Bx35 and Bx6 SBS buses, with online visit requests for new patients.
The neighborhood has a 15% adult diabetes rate and a documented shortage of behavioral 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. Behavioral health visits may not require a referral under Medicaid. Cardiology visits can include on-site EKGs and bloodwork when appropriate. For Highbridge, the gap between needing care and getting care can be one bus ride.
