The mission of F·E·G·S Health and Human Services System has remained constant for over three-quarters of a century: To meet the needs of the community through a diverse network of high quality, cost-efficient health and human services that help each person achieve greater independence at work, at home, at school and in the community, and to meet the ever-changing needs of business and our society.
F·E·G·S has assisted more than three million people since its founding in 1934 by the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies, now UJA-Federation of New York, of which F·E·G·S is a beneficiary agency.
Today, F·E·G·S is one of the largest and most diversified not-for-profit health and human services organizations in the United States.
Each year F·E·G·S touches the lives of over 100,000 people – some 10,000 each day – at more than 300 locations throughout New York City and Long Island, providing a comprehensive array of services that create opportunities and improve the lives of those we serve.
A Network Of Services
F·E·G·S service delivery network includes: employment, career, and workforce development; help for individuals transitioning from welfare to work; behavioral health, developmental disabilities and rehabilitation programs; residential services; home care; services to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, older adults, refugees and immigrants, families in need, youth at risk, those with substance abuse problems, services for individuals facing life-limiting or end-of-life illness, and many others.
F·E·G·S partners with government, business, foundations, and the voluntary/philanthropic communities to develop innovative programs, creating a seamless, synergistic network that responds to those in need in our community. F·E·G·S is a leader in harnessing technology
to improve and enhance services in the most
cost-efficient manner.
Our programs are licensed and approved by numerous governmental organizations and are accredited by CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities).
Thirteen subsidiary and affiliate corporations provide a sophisticated infrastructure and support service delivery system in fields such as information technology, human resources, staffing, disaster management, homecare, and related areas.
F·E·G·S is committed to establishing an organizational culture which supports and endorses a program of environmental awareness and energy conservation throughout its operations.
Each day, the dedicated efforts of over 3,500 staff, along with more than 2,000 volunteers and interns who increase the capacity of F·E·G·S to respond to a variety of needs, help to bring compassionate, caring assistance to thousands of individuals in need.
