Longwood Deserves Better Healthcare
Primary care, heart care, wound care, and on-site lab support less than 1 mile away. Moses Medical is 5 min by bus, 3 min drive from Longwood.
Why Longwood Residents Struggle to Find Care
Longwood is one of the Bronx neighborhoods hardest hit by chronic disease. With a diabetes rate of 17%, double the citywide average, and asthma hospitalizations three times higher than the rest of New York City, residents here face serious health challenges compounded by poverty and limited access to care.
The federal government has designated Longwood as both a Health Professional Shortage Area and a Medically Underserved Area, meaning there simply aren’t enough healthcare providers for the people who live here. The median household income of $22,000 means most residents rely on Medicaid for their coverage, and many have struggled to find specialists who accept it.
Moses Medical is less than one mile from Longwood. MetroPlus, Fidelis Care, and other Medicaid plans are listed on our insurance page. Bring your card and a photo ID. Our on-site CLIA-certified lab means patients can get bloodwork without visiting a separate facility. For patients managing diabetes, asthma, wounds, or blood pressure concerns, the care team can connect the visit, lab work, and follow-up plan.
Our staff prepares and submits prior authorization requests for you. Your plan decides the outcome, and we will tell you what it says and what the options are if a request is denied.
