Floating Hospital Clinic

Our Mission: Providing Unrestricted Healthcare for All

For 156 years, The Floating Hospital has been a steadfast beacon of hope, offering unwavering healthcare and relief to all who walk through our doors. We firmly believe that healthcare is a fundamental human right, accessible to everyone regardless of their identity, background, or financial status. Our doors have always been open, welcoming families in need with compassion and understanding. We are dedicated to breaking down barriers to care, ensuring that every individual, especially vulnerable populations such as homeless families and those experiencing domestic violence, has access to the medical attention they deserve.

A Comprehensive Approach to Healthcare

The Floating Hospital provides a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of our patients. We offer primary medical care, including well-child visits, sick visits, and chronic disease management. Our behavioral health services address the emotional and mental well-being of individuals and families, providing counseling, therapy, and support groups. Recognizing the vital role of preventive care, we offer a variety of health education programs, workshops, and screenings to empower individuals to make informed decisions about their health.

We understand that healthcare needs extend beyond medical treatment. That's why we provide crucial support services such as HIV testing and treatment, infectious disease prevention and management, reproductive health services, and a dedicated doula initiative. Our dental clinic ensures that oral health needs are met, and our pharmacy provides access to essential medications. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by underserved communities, we also offer specialized programs for women's health and children's health, tailoring our services to their specific needs.

Connecting Patients with Care Through Telehealth

In our ever-evolving world, we recognize the importance of accessibility. That's why we offer telehealth services, allowing patients to connect with our healthcare providers remotely. Telehealth consultations provide convenience and flexibility, expanding our reach to those who may face transportation barriers or other challenges accessing in-person care.

Beyond Medical Care: Addressing Basic Needs

We believe that healthcare encompasses a holistic approach to well-being, addressing not only physical health but also the basic necessities that contribute to a sense of security and dignity. For families experiencing homelessness or economic hardship, we provide essential items such as clothing, food, personal hygiene products, baby necessities, and children's toys and books. We eliminate transportation barriers by offering a citywide shuttle service, connecting patients to their medical appointments and other crucial services.

Investing in the Future: The Camp Rise Up Initiative

Recognizing the importance of early intervention and breaking the cycle of poverty, we established Camp Rise Up, a transformative summer program for children experiencing homelessness. Camp provides a safe and nurturing environment where campers can engage in enriching activities, connect with nature, and build essential life skills. Through interactive workshops and classes, campers explore topics like communication, peer pressure, bullying, consent, sexuality, and identity, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with confidence. Camp Rise Up is more than just summer fun; it's an opportunity to ignite hope and build a brighter future for these resilient young individuals.
