Jamaica Hospital Medical Center—one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades—is a 384-bed, not-for-profit, fully accredited community teaching hospital serving Queens since 1891, where we started in just a four-bedroom house. Today, we deliver nationally recognized care in cardiology, stroke, oncology, imaging, and emergency medicine, and are New York State’s only Primary Heart Attack Center and the first Comprehensive Stroke Center.
With an expanded Level I Trauma Center, Pediatric Emergency Department, modern maternity services, and over 120,000 ER visits annually, we offer dynamic opportunities for professional growth, impact and clinical excellence. Through our affiliation with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the upcoming opening of our newly built, state-of-the-art Cancer Center, we continue to expand access to world-class care.
As a safety-net hospital, filling a void for the people in the community, we proudly serve all patients regardless of ability to pay. Join us during this exciting period of growth and help shape the future of healthcare.
Mission: To serve our patients and the community in a way that is second to none.
Vision: To be the premier integrated healthcare delivery system by providing the highest quality, most cost-effective service, which is accessible and sensitive to all.
MOBILE CRISIS
Day & Night Shifts Available ROTATING WEEKENDS
The Department of Psychiatry at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center offers a wide range of inpatient, outpatient, and community-based services for those with mental health needs. We operate two community mobile crisis teams as part of our comprehensive emergency psychiatric services. Our team provides care to patients who are either unable or unwilling to receive continuing outpatient psychiatric services.
The Mobile Crisis team, comprised of a coordinator, certified social worker, and psychiatrist, visits the homes of both recently discharged patients, as well as newly referred patients seven days a week. The purpose of the Mobile Crisis Team is to perform initial screenings or ongoing assessment and stabilization.
