The mission of the Metropolitan Family Health Network, Inc. is to provide high quality, accessible health care to the underserved population in our community, regardless of their ability to pay.
Metropolitan
Family Health Network is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)
that provides a comprehensive roster of ambulatory health care services.
Incorporated in 2006, we are dedicated to making high-quality,
affordable health care accessible to all of the residents of Hudson
County, particularly those in our underserved communities. We accept
most health care insurance as well as Medicare and Medicaid, and have a
sliding-fee scale for patients who do not have insurance. Metropolitan
Family Health Network never turns patients away because they cannot pay.
Metropolitan
Family Health Network has three locations within the community that are
easily accessed via public transportation: our main site at 935
Garfield Avenue in Jersey City, as well as 5300 Bergenline Avenue in
West New York; and 857 Bergen Avenue in Jersey City, where we provide
services primarily for the growing number of people who now find
themselves homeless. Transportation is provided for special populations
seen at the Bergen Avenue site.
Since
our official opening in 2006, the number of men, women and children we
serve has increased from 12,114 patient visits per year to 48,915. Our
staff of 88 — including 14 physicians — is fluent in more than eight
languages.
Metropolitan
Family Health Network is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit corporation that
receives financial support from the U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services and the New Jersey Department of Health & Senior
Services. Our organization is a member of the New Jersey Primary Care
Association.
