The Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center (Addabbo) is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3), community health care center established in 1987 as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). We provide comprehensive health services to the poor, the medically indigent and the medically underserved residents of Far Rockaway and Southeast Queens, along with Red Hook in Brooklyn.Addabbo is a community and consumer-focused nonprofit compelled by the contention that preventive health care, support services, and care management reduce the overall costs of secondary and tertiary health care resources. Addabbo provides a range of programs and services for: internal medicine/family practice; OB/GYN; pediatrics; dental care; HIV early intervention/prevention and treatment; asthma and diabetes education; ophthalmology; urology; nutrition education; Women, Infant, and Children Education; and mental health services.For many of the 40,000 unduplicated patients Addabbo serves annually, access to high-quality health care services would not exist if not for our health centers.
