Metro Community Health Centers

The mission of Metro Community Health Centers, Inc. is to enable access to and provide high quality, well-coordinated, primary and specialty medical, dental, behavioral, rehabilitation, and ancillary health services. Our focus is on patients who are underserved, with a special commitment to the needs of people with disabilities. We commit to doing our very best to provide culturally-competent services regardless of a patient’s ability to pay.

Metro Community Health Centers offers a wide range of services in four New York City locations. Our physicians, therapists, nurses and support staff are a skilled, committed and compassionate team of healthcare professionals who provide a comfortable and caring atmosphere for all patients.

In accordance with the Federally Supported Health Centers Assistance Act (FSHCAA), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) deems Metro Community Health Centers to be an employee of the Public Health Service (PHS). We are covered under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) for actions within the scope of deemed employment. A deemed health center, its employees, and eligible contractors working within the approved scope of the project are considered federal employees and are immune from lawsuits for medical malpractice.
