Chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and hypertension, are prevalent in the communities served by Jamaica Hospital.
The impact of these diseases is notably greater among certain groups within our service area. This disparity can be attributed to socioeconomic factors, limited access to quality healthcare, a lack of health insurance, and other factors that contribute to health inequities.
Jamaica Hospital is dedicated to combating chronic diseases in underserved communities. We have implemented initiatives that prioritize education and provide essential resources and services. These efforts aim to help patients overcome barriers to accessing quality care.
