At MediSys Health Network, we’re on a mission to eradicate health disparities, ensuring our community members, regardless of race, ethnicity, or financial circumstance, receive top-tier care. With a commitment to serving over 800,000 individuals in Queens and Brooklyn, we stand as a cornerstone of health and hope in 37 zip codes across these communities.
Our Legacy
Our Legacy: MediSys Health Network comprises Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, established 133 years ago in 1891, and Flushing Hospital Medical Center, serving the community since 1884. Together, they form an integrated healthcare system that provides a comprehensive spectrum of services, from general medical care to specialized treatments in urology, neurology, orthopedics, and more.
Healthy Equity in Action
Health Equity in Action: MediSys is not just a provider; we are champions of health equity, recognized by the Lown Institute for our dedication to social responsibility. Our commitment to addressing health disparities extends to a number of grant-funded initiatives in the community, including a program combating Anti-Asian racism.
Empowering Communities
Empowering Communities: Our workforce mirrors the racial, ethnic, and linguistic diversity of the neighborhoods we serve, with over 51% multilingual staff speaking 73 languages. This inclusivity enables us to provide culturally competent care, ensuring every individual feels understood and valued.
Addressing Urgent Needs
Addressing Urgent Needs: In a landscape where 20 hospitals have closed in the last 25 years, particularly in low-income and minority neighborhoods, our presence is crucial. The absence of healthcare institutions in six city districts poses a significant risk of widening health disparities. We are devoted to bridging this gap, offering millions of dollars in free care annually to those without insurance or means to pay.
Excellence in Care
