COVID-19 IMPACT
As a comprehensive Federally Qualified Health Center, BMS carried out outstanding work addressing the disproportionate impact on health and social needs, and consequences that our communities endured over the course of the COVID-19 outbreak.
We quickly pivoted to provide informative outreach, telehealth, testing, food, supplies, and locally accessible vaccinations to all, including incentives for hesitant segments of the communities.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
BMS undertakes considerable efforts to plan and implement capital projects to expand access to high-quality healthcare. From one clinic site in Rockaway Avenue, we have grown to three clinical locations and over seven service points offering specialized care and social services. BMS has developed strong relationships with public, private, and community-based partners to bring in capital investment for the construction of long-lasting facilities.
