Health Clinic

The health clinic is a partnership between our organization and QueensCare Family Clinics. The clinic exists to address gaps and inequities in our healthcare system while providing a remedy for children and teens of low-income families with few alternatives for dependable care.  Our doors are open to all children and teens (birth through 17 years), with or without health insurance.  As such, we are a solution for parents who would otherwise wait long hours for their children to receive medical attention or who lack a provider.  The clinic’s bilingual staff includes two pediatricians and a staff of medical assistants who provide the utmost, compassionate care through the following services:

  • Well baby & well child check-ups
  • Physical exams
  • Sick visits
  • Immunizations
  • Flu shots
  • Tuberculosis screening (TB skin test)
  • Vision & Hearing tests
  • Referrals for specialized care
  • Laboratory tests

Bilingual Certified Application Assistants are available to help patients complete insurance applications.  If a patient already has insurance, the assistants can facilitate transfers to QueensCare Family Clinic's Bresee site upon request.

Health Education and Screenings

In the context of a full-service community center, Bresee is able to provide clinic patients and anxious community members with emotional support and access to education, referrals and resources that lead to healthier lifestyles.  Bresee community health advocates collaborate with the QueensCare Health and Faith Partnership to offer health education forums and information materials, as well as screenings for high blood pressure, tuberculosis, anemia and unhealthy cholesterol and sugar levels.
