Improving Health and Health Care
for Every New Yorker
United Hospital Fund’s mission is to build an effective and equitable
health care system for every New Yorker.
That means health care that is affordable and accessible to all,
provides a better patient experience and the highest quality of care,
and achieves optimal health outcomes— with a special focus on those
facing the greatest barriers to good health and health care.
