Health Center or Emergency Room?
If it's not urgent, it's usually best to go to your primary care doctor at the Health Center for medical care. Your doctor knows you, your health history, can access your medical records and provide follow-up care or refer you to specialists either onsite at the Health Center or nearby, with a written referral. If the doctor you normally go to at the Health Center is unavailable, you may request a same-day appointment with another available doctor.

New Health Center to Be Built in Queens!

Yes, the new Brooklyn Health Center was built and, quite frankly, it has been praised by people from all corners of the healthcare industry. But we are not renovating the current Queens Health Center. Instead, we are happy to report, we are going to be building an entire new facility right next door to the current Queens Health Center. When completed, it will be as ambitious in scope, as accommodating in space, as dramatic in design, and as advanced in service and treatment as the new Brooklyn Health Center, and it will even incorporate some new ideas.
