BronxCare Outpatient Network

Fulfilling an Essential Leadership Role in Promoting Health Care Excellence

BronxCare’s service area is among the poorest in the nation, with high disease incidence rates, large minority and immigrant populations, and low socioeconomic status. In an environment where these critical social and health problems are interrelated, BronxCare is effectively and successfully responding to the needs of the community.

From the extensive primary care practices and subspecialty services it offers to satellite programs throughout the community, the BronxCare Outpatient Network is fulfilling an essential leadership role in Promoting and Achieving Health Care Excellence.

BronxCare is delivering quality medical and dental care to patients of all ages at convenient locations, with practices that offer treatment for allergies, arthritis, asthma, cancer, colds/flu, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, infections, prenatal care, sprains/fractures, and women’s health issues, in addition to dental and other medical problems. These services are provided by an expert team of general medicine, OB/GYN, pediatric, orthopaedic, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), family medicine, mental health, dental practitioners/hygienists, and other specialists. myBronxCare, an online patient portal, is offering patients the opportunity to have confidential access to their medical information. A Diaspora initiative is also providing the medical and support services needed by the growing African community. In addition, BronxCare's Telehealth program has become an essential method for responding to individuals that cannot or do not want to travel to the outpatient practices.

BronxCare is continuing to grow from its current level of providing more than 900,000 outpatient visits annually (among the largest for a health care system in New York City). A pediatric outpatient facility and newly expanded ophthalmology service, as well as an expanded neurology program, will soon be in place. The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Third Avenue practice will also be expanded, and its MBD practice will be relocated into a newly renovated space.
