Mission: The hospital is a free standing diagnostic and treatment center licensed under article 28 and article 31 of the nys health law located in long island city, ny. The hospital provides a broad range of primary health care services to a largely medically underserved population. Tfh is also a federally qualified health center with all three urban designations under section 330.
Programs: Hch program - tfh is a federally qualified health center, and has historically served nyc's most underserved populations. That population today is homeless families, which, as a category of homelessness, far exceeds homeless single men or women.

In addition, it provides non-medicaid reimbursed services such as health education at no cost to any patient.
chc/phpc program - tfh also functions as a federally qualified health center to the northwest queens community and provides primary health care services to the underserved of that community as well as the queensbridge and ravenswood houses, the largest public housing projects in the united states. It follows the same formula as its homeless families program, providing primary healthcare services regardless of ability to pay.
djj medical and dental program - tfh is the medical provider to the nyc department of juvenile justice, which handles all aspects of youth unassociated with a specific home life at a particular time, i. E. , foster children (both temporary and permanent), detained youth, etc. Tfh provides health care and health education to this medically fragile and inner-city at-risk population at sites in the bronx and brooklyn.
