Everybody deserves healthcare
Healthcare is a fundamental human right. For 159 years, we have provided unrestricted healthcare and relief to all who walk through our doors, regardless of identity status or ability to pay.
No exceptions. Just exceptional care.
The Floating Hospital provides a healthcare safety net to nearly 27,000 children and their adults annually. Nearly 100% of the unhoused families we serve—40% of whom are children—report living below the Federal Poverty Line. Your support makes unrestricted healthcare and relief to families accessible and possible.
We offer relief
The Floating Hospital provides families with essentials: clothing, food, personal healthcare products, baby necessities, children’s toys and books. We remove barriers to care with our citywide transportation network.
We teach prevention
The Floating Hospital is with families for the long term, supporting healthy lifestyles through tailored health education, social service support and comprehensive behavioral health programs.
We provide healthcare
For 159 years, The Floating Hospital has provided expert medical care to all who have needed it, regardless of insurance status, identity status or ability to pay.
How you can help
The Floating Hospital remains unchanged in its commitment to provide care, regardless of ability to pay to New York City’s most vulnerable residents, homeless families living in family shelters and domestic violence safe houses. For them we are an island of stability in their often turbulent, and ever-changing, world. Your support makes a difference.
