About BMS FAMILY HEALTH AND WELLNESS CENTERS

The BMS Family Health and Wellness Centers (BMS) serve over 17,000 residents in East and Central Brooklyn, New York. We are dedicated to delivering top-notch services and comprehensive programs to address and prevent health conditions, while empowering our community through education, coordination, and advocacy.

Our mission is to provide and promote integrative and high-quality health care and social services, enabling every individual and family in our communities to achieve Total Health and Wellness. We aim to ignite a health and wellness revolution that brings lasting, positive change to our communities.

Our History: BMS’s roots trace back to the 1960s with the Brownsville Community Council (BCC), a group committed to organizing and empowering residents. This activism led to the creation of the Brownsville Community Development Corporation (BCDC) in 1974, and eventually, BMS was established in 1982 as a federally qualified health center. Our goal was, and still is, to provide services regardless of the ability to pay, immigration status, or health insurance coverage.

Our Impact: Today, BMS is dedicated to the cultural, economic, medical, and educational well-being of everyone in our community. We continue to advocate for increased healthcare access and inspire overall well-being throughout Brooklyn.

Our Founder: Joseph Francois, former CEO of BCDC and founding Executive Director of BMS, was a passionate advocate for Brownsville, Ocean Hill, and East New York. His leadership shaped BMS into a vital social change agent. In his honor, we have named one of our service sites the “BMS Life & Wellness Center: The Joseph K. Francois Pavilion.”

Join us in our mission to transform health and wellness in Brooklyn and beyond!
