UCP/NYC: A Health Care Leader
For over 25 years, UCP/NYC has specialized in meeting the complete health care needs of individuals with disabilities and their families. Our philosophy is one which supports the active participation of the individual consumer in every phase of the health care process.

With unique services like our nurse case managers who coordinate patient care from the first date of an individual's visit, UCP/NYC's emphasis is on providing quality, patient-sensitive health care. Our highly trained staff of clinicians and assistants have years of experience in working with people with disabilities and focus particularly on the communication necessary for the most effective treatment and services. Our health care staff also understands the importance of preventive care, a major component of UCP/NYC's medical care program.
