On Sunday, some 100 teens headed upstate from our clinic to Camp Rise Up. Many amazing volunteers assisted them with gear for their week of intensive health education classes, packed with discovery and adventure. The teens experiencing homelessness who are joining us will enjoy a week of hiking, swimming, campfires and more.

Thanks to Soles4Souls, Venable Foundation, Good Sports, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Citizens Philanthropic Foundation, and the John and Martha Wolf Fund for their support of this program.

On 8/11/26, The Floating Hospital summer interns wrapped up their six-week session with slide deck presentations celebrating their time with us. It was also a time to recognize Cynthia Davis, who led and initiated the program. She will retire this year.

Those who participated were Jaliyah Acevedo, Araceli De La Luz, Benjamin Espaillat, Linnia Goodwin, Sienna Koball, Michael Lape, Dairsha Mack, Kimberly Martinez, Gavin McGowen, Yasuri Munoz, Yeiden Norales, Daniel Pinzon, Saba Rahman, Ahmir Ruiz, Rayan Shannak, and Selena Wu.

In addition to their regular assignments, interns visited the United Nations, volunteered in the Part of the Solution (POTS) community kitchen and food bank, and assisted with a cooking demonstration, our SOAR day camp, and a Women’s Wellness event.

“One of the highlights of my internship was the opportunity to work with an amazing team of interns,” Jaliyah noted in her presentation. “We learned from each other, collaborated on various projects, and supported one another throughout our time together.”

"It's transformed us in so many ways. They give us so much."
That's how one of our younger patients describes his experience with The Floating Hospital in our annual video. It features real families discussing their journeys from crisis to healing, and a salute to our 160 years and unchanged mission. First shown at our summer gala, the film now has two companion shorts, each following a family in greater depth. Watch all three for a peek behind the scenes at the programs, staff, and lives behind our work. To watch, see the links below.

We are pleased and grateful to announce that The Floating Hospital received a grant renewal this year from Councilwoman Julie Won and the New York City Council’s Cure Violence program.

The $45,600 we received for the 2027 fiscal year will support case workers and other associated costs to assist our behavioral health department in treating victims of gun violence and identify and prevent potentially violent situations. The grant will help children, adults, and families traumatized by or at risk for gun violence.

Ernesto Hart, manager of our dental department, lives The Floating Hospital's mission every day — a family-centered care model that goes far beyond teeth. In May, that work earned him the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Foundation's 2026 Dr. Beverly A. Largent Access to Care Innovator Award, presented in Las Vegas. The award honors leaders transforming children's access to dental care — and Ernesto is the first non-dentist ever to win it. We're proud of him, and grateful he's on our team!

More than 70 women received free health screenings, pampering, gifts, and more at our Summer ’26 Women’s Wellness Day on July 24. Those who attended enjoyed free transportation, breakfast and lunch, massages, henna tattoos, and their choice from a large selection of personal care items, clothing, and lingerie all while receiving medical testing vital for women’s health.

Stay tuned for news of our fall session, coming up soon!

Smoke and poor air quality from wildfires moved our staff BBQ inside to our main clinic on July 17, but it didn’t stop the fun! We enjoyed a catered lunch, team building, and appreciation. Team challenges included trivia, the human knot, and relay races, which the Blue Team won—Congratulations!

Last week we said ‘Hola!’ to SOAR, our day camp for Spanish-speaking teens. The one-week program presents the complete first-year Camp Rise Up curriculum entirely in Spanish. Once campers are ready with the English skills they need for a safe, fun sleepaway experience, they can move on to CRU's second-year program upstate. New afternoon activities included roller skating at Brooklyn Bridge Park, miniature golf and the arcade at Shipwrecked in Brooklyn, aerial silks in Manhattan, a visit to Sky Farm LIC and a beach trip to Jacob Riis Park—a fun and educational week for all.
