Home Care in
Hunts Point

Hunts Point is home to the largest produce market in the world — the Hunts Point Produce Market supplies over 60% of New York City's fresh food — and yet the neighborhood's own residents suffer from some of the worst food and health access in the city. Asthma hospitalization rates here are among the highest in the United States, not because of anything residents have done wrong but because three sides of the peninsula are surrounded by truck routes, waste facilities, and industrial operations that collectively degrade the air quality beyond what many bodies can tolerate. An elderly Hunts Point resident with COPD or severe asthma cannot easily travel to BronxCare or Lincoln Hospital for every flare. Our nurses come to them: providing in-home respiratory assessments, medication management, nebulizer training, and physician coordination. Our social workers connect families to Medicaid, SNAP, and the community organizations fighting for environmental justice in this neighborhood. Good Care Agency has served Hunts Point for over a decade, and our Spanish and English-speaking team understands both the clinical burden and the community spirit of this resilient South Bronx peninsula.
