Hunts Point Deserves Better Healthcare
Mental health visits, PrEP, primary care, and lab coordination. 10 min by bus.. Moses Medical is 10 min by bus, 6 min drive from Hunts Point.
Hunts Point by the Numbers
Hunts Point faces some of the most extreme health disparities in New York City. With a poverty rate of 42.1%, the highest in the city, and asthma hospitalization rates four times the citywide average, this community bears a disproportionate burden of preventable disease.
The mental health crisis is equally acute. One in five adults in Hunts Point reports frequent mental distress, yet the neighborhood has among the fewest mental health providers per capita in the Bronx. Substance use disorders compound these challenges, and residents often have to travel outside their community to access psychiatric care.
Moses Medical is about 10 minutes from Hunts Point on the Bx6 or Bx6 SBS, which run west along Hunts Point Ave and E 163rd St. We provide mental health visits and primary care support close to home. Lab work can often be coordinated during the same visit as a primary care appointment when clinically appropriate, and our team can help with plan requirements when they apply.
For a community where nearly three-quarters of residents speak Spanish at home, language access matters. Our front desk can help in Spanish. Call before your visit if you prefer Spanish so the office can plan for it.
