Mission Statement
The Berean Community and Family Life Center (BCFLC) is a first of its kind in New York City for a faith-based organization that focuses on health and wellness for adults and children. This unique Center currently houses a medical clinic with highly respected physicians in podiatry, gastroenterology (GI specialty), along with pediatricians, internists, obstetrician/gynecologists, physical therapists and a nutritionist.
Description
Created as a 501 (c)(3) community development corporation by the historic Berean Baptist Church in theWeeksville/Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, BCFLC sits on a solid foundation. As health statistics became more available and evident, and the increased number of community residents, family members and friends dying from heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and obesity became more noticeable, BCFLC decided to do something about it and set out on a mission.
