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.

April is National Minority Health Month, a time to emphasize the importance of equitable healthcare. Many factors, such as patients' intersecting identities and health literacy, can affect their access to healthcare. That's where community health centers come in - they help bridge the gap and provide access to healthcare for everyone, regardless of insurance status. At our center, we take pride in our team-based approach to care. Our staff comes from the Lower East Side and Bushwick communities, giving us a unique perspective on the needs of our patients. For those managing chronic illnesses or multiple ailments, we offer support from a team of providers, including dietitians, primary care physicians, prenatal care specialists, podiatrists, and case managers. By working together, we can optimize health plans and improve overall well-being. Join us in celebrating #NationalMinorityHealthMonth and bringing awareness to a more equitable future!

We wish a farewell to Danny Ramirez, our former Director of Operations, as he departs Betances after 32 years of service. During his tenure, he played many roles in helping us achieve our mission of promoting quality healthcare as a basic right for all, regardless of their ability to pay. It's been exciting to see him grow and evolve, starting as a SYEP youth worker and working closely with our founder, Paul Ramos. Danny was pivotal in helping to further the mission and vision of Betances and improving patient experiences. Although we will miss him, we are confident that he will continue to achieve great things in the future, and we wish him all the best in his new endeavors.
