The Mid-Hudson Family Health Institute was
established in July 1983 to promote primary care education, healthcare
services and medical research in the Mid-Hudson Valley region. The Institute is an Article 28 Diagnostic and Treatment
center not-for-profit 501c3 corporation, licensed by the New York State
Departments of Education and Health. The major goals of the Institute are:
· Provide comprehensive and accessible primary
health care services to residents of the Mid-Hudson Valley, regardless of their ability to pay.
· Train and recruit primary care health manpower to
the Mid-Hudson region.
· Provide community outreach to special populations
at risk such as the frail elderly, young families at risk economically socially
and medically, the mentally ill and physically challenged.
· Develop areas of clinical research integrated
with the educational objectives of the Institute.
Since
its incorporation, the Institute has expanded from its initial clinical
locations in Kingston to six academic health centers, three community
outreach programs and administrative offices throughout Ulster and Dutchess Counties. It has correspondingly extended its primary care focus beyond
family practice to include the full-time presence in the specialties of
obstetrics, sleep medicine, gynecology, geriatrics, internal medicine,
gastroenterology, pulmonology, critical care medicine, pediatric neurology,
pediatrics, psychiatry, podiatry and dental services. Part-time specialty
services are also provided on site in adult neurology, minor surgery,
allergy, pediatric cardiology, developmental
disabilities and others. In 1983, the first year of operation, the
Institute employed 20 staff members. This number has steadily increased
over the 23-year history to a current staff complement of over 300
professionals and support staff.
The
Institute accepts patients of all payor categories including private pay,
Managed Care Plans, Commercial insurance, Medicaid, Medicare and offers
indigent families a sliding fee scale. The Institute has been working
closely with the New York State Department of Health on many projects
including the early intervention programs to families at risk.
