Home Care in
Bedford-Stuyvesant
Bedford-Stuyvesant — Bed-Stuy — is one of the most historically significant Black communities in the United States, a neighborhood whose culture, music, and political history have shaped New York City and the nation. The playwright Lorraine Hansberry, the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jay-Z, and countless other figures are from Bed-Stuy, and the neighborhood's brownstone blocks remain one of the most visually striking residential environments in the city. But Bed-Stuy's health profile tells a more urgent story: the Brooklyn Community Needs Assessment identifies Bed-Stuy as having the highest ratio of bodegas to supermarkets in Brooklyn — 18 bodegas for every one supermarket — a food desert dynamic that directly drives the elevated rates of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease documented in this community. Diabetes clusters for preventable hospitalizations run from Williamsburg-Bushwick through Bed-Stuy into Crown Heights, Brownsville, and East New York — Bed-Stuy sits at the center of this corridor. Behavioral health utilization among Medicaid beneficiaries is similarly concentrated in the Bed-Stuy through Crown Heights to Brownsville corridor. Interfaith Medical Center on Atlantic Avenue serves the northern portion of the neighborhood, Kings County Hospital serves clients further south. Good Care Agency provides in-home nursing, aide, and social work services to Bed-Stuy families in Haitian Creole, Spanish, and English — addressing the chronic disease and social determinant conditions that the food desert and poverty data predict.
