SKIP is short for Sick Kids [Need] Involved People, but it’s long on the kind of assistance that helps 3,000 severely sick and/or developmentally disabled children in the state of New York each year get (and stay!) home from hospitals and institutions to live with their families.

Launched in 1983, SKIP is the only not-for-profit agency of its kind. It is based on the belief that every kid deserves a shot at the best childhood they can get, maybe even especially kids who are chronically ill, severely sick and/or developmentally disabled. Through service coordination, advocacy and hands-on problem solving, more than 100 SKIP case managers make sure they get that chance.
