The Floating Hospital: Astoria Health Center 8-13 Astoria Boulevard, Queens, NY 11102

Welcome to The Floating Hospital: Astoria Health Center, a vital healthcare resource located at 8-13 Astoria Boulevard, Queens, New York 11102. Our mission is to provide a healthcare safety net for nearly 27,000 children and their families annually, with a focus on serving unhoused families, 40% of whom are children living below the Federal Poverty Line. Your support is crucial in making unrestricted healthcare and relief accessible to these families in need.

At The Floating Hospital, we go beyond traditional healthcare by offering a holistic approach to well-being. Our Camp Rise Up offers campers a chance to explore nature through activities like swimming, hiking, and boating, while participating in interactive classes on communication, peer pressure, consent, sexuality, and identity. For many, this is a transformative experience, providing respite from the stress of city and shelter living.

We are dedicated to removing barriers to care through our citywide transportation network, ensuring families have access to essentials such as clothing, food, personal healthcare products, baby necessities, and children's toys and books. Our commitment extends to long-term support through tailored health education, social service assistance, and comprehensive behavioral health programs.

For 155 years, The Floating Hospital has been a beacon of expert medical care for all, regardless of insurance status, immigration status, or ability to pay. Your contributions help fuel our mission, whether it's providing a tank of gas for our transportation vans or enabling an unemployed mother in a shelter to receive a physical exam and re-enter the workforce.

Join us in making a difference. Together, we can continue to support healthy lifestyles and offer hope to families in need.
