CurrentFounded in 1866, The Floating Hospital was one of the first healthcare charities in NYC. It is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that provides primary medical, dental and behavioral healthcare services, in addition to select specialties: optometry, podiatry, and cardiology. Care is provided regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. It is the only provider to offer free door-to-door transportation across all 5 boroughs of New York City, servicing more than 250 shelters, domestic violence safe houses in NYC, and various public housing communities. By addressing social determinants of health issues, The Floating Hospital is the largest healthcare organization that services 1 in 4 homeless patients in New York City.
