NEW YORK – 2022 USL Championship expansion club Queensboro FC announced on Tuesday a new partnership with the MediSys Health Network, which consists of Jamaica and Flushing Hospitals in Queens, as its official and exclusive Founding Medical Partner. As a part of this inaugural partnership, QBFC has donated the entire front of its QBFC Academy jersey to the Jamaica, Flushing and other hospitals in the borough.

Kicking off the partnership is the release of a limited-edition QBFC ‘Community Kit’ produced by Joma, a fundraising jersey that features a unique crest co-designed in partnership with a creative committee made up of local healthcare workers. The crest is inspired by the iconic Queensboro Bridge, outlining its towers and spans with a symbolic electrocardiogram (EKG) design element, with the words “Healthcare Heroes” as the logo’s centerpiece to celebrate frontline workers.

The jersey is now available at the QBFC Shop with 100 percent of net proceeds going to benefit the healthcare community that has been essential to the care and well-being of NYC residents throughout the pandemic and beyond.  All funds raised will support hospitals throughout the MediSys Network, as well as Elmhurst Hospital and Queens Hospital. These hospitals were at the epicenter of the COVID pandemic and treated some of the most critically ill patients in the early stages.

“It has been a pleasure working with QBFC to design their Community Kit and launch their new initiative to honor healthcare workers,” says Dr. Spencer Stein, Orthopedic Sports Surgeon at Jamaica and Flushing Hospital and assistant professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery at NYU Langone. “This past year presented the healthcare community with many challenges, and QBFC remained steadfast to the cause by designing a program that would highlight the important work of medical professionals.”
