Longwood Deserves Better Healthcare
Primary care, weight management, 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. We accept major Medicaid managed care plans and operate an on-site CLIA-certified lab so patients can get bloodwork without visiting a separate facility. For patients managing diabetes, asthma, obesity, wounds, or blood pressure concerns, the care team can connect the visit, lab work, referrals, and follow-up plan.
Our providers speak Spanish, French, Creole, Arabic, and Hindi, matching the languages spoken in over 80% of Bronx households. We fight for your coverage, handling prior authorizations in-house so you don’t have to navigate insurance bureaucracy on your own.
