About Us | Meet our staff

HeathOutreach is staffed by experienced New York board certified social workers who are available to help you navigate the healthcare system and provide support for your physical, social, and emotional needs. Each center is lead by a Program Director dedicated to your personal needs. Our goals are to improve the quality of life for older adults, families, and caregivers and to supply education and training about managing your health, obtaining medical care, and related issues that impact our senior community today.
