West Farms Deserves Better Healthcare
Same-week appointments, wound care, and behavioral health. 12 minutes by bus.. Moses Medical is 12 min by bus, 7 min drive from West Farms.
Wound Care Before It Becomes an Emergency
West Farms has high rates of diabetes-related wound complications, driven by the combination of elevated diabetes prevalence, limited specialist access, and a poverty rate of 36.7%. Residents who develop foot ulcers or chronic wounds often end up in emergency rooms because they could not get to a wound care specialist in time.
Moses Medical is 12 minutes from West Farms by the Bx6 SBS bus. The care team can evaluate wounds, coordinate blood sugar control with primary care, and use on-site lab support for wound-related testing when appropriate.
For West Farms residents managing diabetes, asthma, or mental health conditions, Moses Medical provides the kind of coordinated care that prevents complications. Behavioral health visits require no referral under Medicaid. Lab work happens during your appointment, not at a separate facility. The practice is accepting new patients now.
