VIP Community Services

Please join us on October 9th for our 50th Anniversary Gala! Our theme, Honoring the Past, Shaping the Future, speaks to the impact VIP has made on individuals, families, and communities in the last half-century. It signifies our commitment to be here for the next 50 years as the advocate for, and partner to, people who are marginalized, who lack access to services, and who deserve our support. Your support helps to ensure VIP’s continued ability to offer desperately needed services to under-resourced communities in New York City, regardless of people’s ability to pay. Please consider serving as a sponsor, purchasing an ad, buying tickets, underwriting the event, or making a financial contribution in support of our programs and the people we serve. We're also excited to introduce our new brand design, a representation of our commitment to continued growth and positive change for the next 50 years. Learn more at vipservices.org/2024-gala

?? We’re proud to share that VIP Community Services has been recognized for Distinction in Behavioral Health Integration! This honor highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care to our community. ???? "Many times behavioral health conditions are first identified by a primary care provider," said Margaret E. O'Kane, NCQA President. "So adding behavioral health care services in a primary care setting is a real opportunity for patients. It knocks down barriers to behavioral care and improves overall health." Thank you to our dedicated team and everyone who supports our mission of promoting health and well-being! #VIPCommunityServices #BehavioralHealth #PatientCenteredCare #AwardWinningCare
