In New York City, child health care coverage is almost universal. Unfortunately, access is not.

By basing sites in schools and community centers, Children’s Aid is able to bring comprehensive care directly to neighborhoods that historically have been underserved and that continue to lack easy access to primary care, preventive care, and mental health services. We are able to further extend our impact by providing home-based supports virtually and in person.

Children’s Aid delivers high-quality services where they are needed most to reduce health disparities, ensuring that more children grow up strong.

• health insurance support • nutrition and health education

• preventive, dental, and mental health care

• screenings
