What Mott Haven Is Up Against
Mott Haven is a federally designated Health Professional Shortage Area, meaning there are not enough primary care providers for the population. Life expectancy here is seven years below the citywide average, and preventive care access has been limited for decades.
HIV diagnosis rates here are double the city average, yet PrEP access remains limited. Mental health services are scarce despite some of the highest rates of serious psychological distress in the Bronx. And premature cardiovascular death, meaning heart attacks and strokes before age 65, runs 50% above the NYC average.
Moses Medical is a short subway ride from Mott Haven, on the 6 to Longwood Av or the 2 or 5 to Prospect Av. We provide PrEP visits, mental health visits, and primary care close to home. If your plan has referral or authorization requirements, our team can help you understand the next step before your visit.
