Clinical Services
Our services incorporate principles of clinical excellence, family systems, community needs, population health, and cross-settings care to meet the needs of our patients.
Primary Care Locations
Family medicine faculty and trainees provide care at two community health centers in the Bronx. Both sites are Federally Qualified Health Centers and are located within health provider shortage areas.
We provide full-spectrum family medicine services, including care of children, care of adults, women’s health, and maternity care. Primary care services incorporate reproductive health services, HIV care, hepatitis C treatment, buprenorphine programs, behavioral health sciences, health education, and yoga and movement classes. Patients who require inpatient hospitalization are admitted to our department’s hospital service, and pregnant women are cared for during labor and delivery by our faculty and residents at Wakefield Hospital.
