Since 1866, our dedicated staff has delivered medical care, relief supplies, and health and life skills education so families in crisis may have healthier and more stable futures.

Respect, solidarity, and a shared mission—all with great benefits

At The Floating Hospital, you’ll find competitive wages, first-class benefits, flexible scheduling, training, and a real commitment to your growth — so you can start building a meaningful career with us from day one. From our earliest ships sailing New York Harbor to our state-of-the-art and welcoming main clinic, our dedicated staff has always worked as one integrated team, forming a safety net for New York City’s most vulnerable families.

Since 1866, our mission has been more holistic than that of a typical medical facility. Our providers deliver high-quality healthcare across family medicine, behavioral health, dental, vision, and podiatric care. But we’ve always gone further — providing families in need with essentials to live with dignity, along with social services and education in health, hygiene, infant care, and life skills. Our model offers community, compassion, and unwavering support — to the families we serve, and to every member of our team.
