CHOICE of NY
CHOICE is a leading Care Management Agency serving Westchester County. We are a peer agency that assists consumers of mental health services to receive vital benefits to which they are entitled. We help our clients to find housing, obtain Medicaid, Food Stamps, Social Security benefits, become job ready, and locate a variety of other programs that they need. Our services are 100% free of charge to clients as they are covered either by Medicaid or grant funding. We focus on tangible health outcomes such as reducing emergency room visits and inpatient hospital stays. We do this by providing personalized care management to assist in obtaining and maintaining comprehensive, preventative medical care (e.g. appointment scheduling, reminders and appointment escorts) as well as addressing psycho-social needs that might interfere with medical care. At the end of our time together, we will have successfully helped someone back to a place in life where they are positive contributors in their community. Most importantly, we do so without judgment and with compassion. We change lives, we save lives and we help people regain the dignity they deserve.
