COMMUNITY-BASED PROGRAMS

The Family health centers at NYU Langone Department of Community-Based Programs has a thirty-year history of providing educational and supportive services to community residents and their families. Our work is grounded in the philosophy that is the foundation of Lutheran's holistic orientation to community health - that health depends upon such factors as an individual's psychosocial, familial, economic, housing, educational, and employment status. We are committed to affirming each family's cultural, ethnic and linguistic identities and using community social work practices, work toward ensuring that our programs are always designed to be responsive to evolving family and community issues in the context of a diverse, multicultural society.
