The Floating Hospital is a New York City-based health care organization with roots dating back to 1866. It operates from a main clinic in Long Island City, and maintains satellites at homeless family shelters across New York City, focusing on the city’s most resource-constrained residents. The organization offers primary medical care along with dental, mental health, optometry, infectious disease and other specialties, alongside relief activities such as distributing essentials and providing free patient transportation. Its mission rests on three enduring pillars: delivering essential relief, providing evidence-based health education, and delivering high-quality, compassionate care regardless of a patient’s ability to pay. Since 9/11, The Floating Hospital has operated as a land-based network, centered in its Long Island City clinic and supported by satellite sites in homeless shelters. The organization emphasizes a whole-family, holistic approach that includes health education on topics from cooking on limited means to socio-emotional learning and even programs for homeless teens.
