A Hospital without Walls, the Primary Care Network
The Lutheran Medical Center and Lutheran Family Health Centers, a “network” of ambulatory care centers, encompass the Brooklyn communities of Sunset Park, Bay Ridge, Park Slope, east Flatbush, and nearby areas. The goal is to provide community residents with comprehensive primary health care and education services which are culturally acceptable, accessible, and of the highest quality. The network comprises nine family-oriented health centers and multiple sites hosting special award winning programs in school health, adult education, early childhood activities, maternal and child health, mental health, alcohol and substance abuse, and HIV/AIDS services.
