The Floating Hospital

Providing medical care and more to families living in homeless shelters, safe houses, motels/hotels. Legacy of relief on the NYC waterways. Now: on land in LIC.

@radiotigman Thanks for your story of the Lila Acheson Wallace and The Floating Hospital. Yes, after we lost our dock on 9/11, we sold the ship to a developer. Although we hope to sail again, we still deliver critical services to those most in need in a state-of-the-art clinic in Queens.

Did you know that roughly 20% of US students aged 12-18 experience bullying according to @StopBullyingGov?

@TheFloatingHosp held a workshop on bullying for our kids at Fortitude House, our Brooklyn sanctuary that houses 84 families…

Hi there, I’m Leticia! 👋

I’m the Transportation Director at @TheFloatingHosp.

Something special about our organization is the way we reduce barriers for families living with homelessness.

Same day appointments for the whole family = preventative care that meets people where they are.

A fun fact about me? This Thanksgiving, I was proud to give back by donating to feed 50 families.
