About us

Betances Health Center (Betances) is a federally qualified health center located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Our mission is to promote quality health care as a basic right for all, regardless of ability to pay. Since 1970, Betances has emerged as a leader in community based primary care serving over 5,000 underserved patients each year. Betances’ pioneering strategy of integrated care, merging traditional Western medicine and specialty services with holistic treatments consonant with diverse health care beliefs and practices directly responds to a prevalence of serious health risks such as impaired childhood development, teen pregnancy, and chronic disease, which result from inner city poverty and insufficient access to primary care. Betances offers quality culturally sensitive care in the following areas: primary care (family practice, pediatrics, internal medicine, HIV/AIDS care, family planning, social services, HIV testing & counseling, PEP & PREP); Specialty care (Prenatal care, Women’s Health care, Podiatry with acupuncture, & dental); and Complementary services (Nutritional care, Meditative therapies, Patient support groups, Case management, & a Discount prescription drug program). In addition, Betances offers assistance with obtaining health insurance as well as sliding fee discounts based on individual income levels. Betances is currently expanding its quality services into Bushwick Brooklyn as it continues to expand on the Lower East Side. Betances Health Center is an all-inclusive medical provider proud to serve everyone who comes through our doors.

  • It's Intersectionality Awareness Month! Intersectionality, coined by feminist scholar Kimberle Crenshaw, explores how multiple social identities, such as gender, nationality, and race, intersect and influence an individual's experiences and opportunities. It's important to acknowledge intersectionality within healthcare, as it helps us better understand and tailor medical care for the diverse needs of our patients. Join us this month in learning more about how to make healthcare equitable for all!
