Our Mission
To provide the most professional, courteous, and highest quality health care, with dignity, to those we serve, especially the underserved population, without regard for their ability to pay.
Our Vision
To become the model of excellence for community-based primary care, and to act as a catalyst to promote health, prevent disease and address socioeconomic factors that adversely affect health, as an integral member of the community.
Communities Served & Target Populations:
BSFHC provides health services to the neediest residents in North and Central Brooklyn. Since our founding in 1978, BSFHC’s Service Area has expanded to seven Brooklyn ZIP codes: 11216 (Bed/Stuy); 11205 (Fort Greene); 11213 (Crown Heights North); 11221 (Bushwick); 11233 (Ocean Hill); 11212 (Brownsville); and 11207 (Highland Park). These medically-underserved communities face grave health disparities and high mortality rates, substantial economic barriers and social marginalization. Despite these barriers, the communities we serve are resilient and filled with community pride.
Today, BSFHC is recognized as a provider-of-choice for delivering quality health care in Brooklyn. We have strong partnerships with patients and families to help them take control of their care to manage their conditions, achieve personal goals, and attain optimum health. We provide the highest quality care to patients across the lifecycle. Our interdisciplinary team of providers and staff work cooperatively to provide a full complement of preventative, primary, specialty and behavioral care, as well as other supportive and enabling services.
