THE GROWING NEED FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS
64% of our patients are on Medicaid 16% are uninsured
During this time of health care uncertainty, as more Bronx residents risk losing coverage, VIP Community Services remains a lifeline, providing high-quality, compassionate care to all. Meeting rising uncompensated care costs requires ongoing community support and partnership.
Recognized by the federal government as Advancing HIT for Quality, Improving Healthcare Access, High-Value Care, and Preventive Care.
In the Bronx, where elevated rates of chronic disease acutely impact residents, quality care isn’t optional. It’s essential.
