About us
Established in 1971, Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center, Inc. (WYH) is a community based, 501(c) 3 non-profit corporation that provides affordable, accessible primary and preventative medical, dental and addiction services to the uninsured, working poor and medically under-served people of the Capital Region. Whitney Young currently operates from eight physical locations in Albany, Troy and Watervliet, including school-based health centers in three Albany elementary schools. In addition, Whitney Young Health provides mobile dental services through Seal-a-Smile, a partnership with the Healthy Capital District Initiative (HCDI). Whitney Young Health fulfills its mission and vision by offering comprehensive primary care services to all, from birth to old age, with special focus on chronic illnesses, prevention and early intervention. Particular emphasis is placed on reducing health disparities identified through the needs assessment and deployment of the chronic care model in the medical setting. The design of WYH's delivery model is patient centered addressing clinical symptoms as well as behavioral issues to achieve measurable outcomes. Recently, the National Committee for Quality Assurance recognized Whitney Young’s Troy and Albany Health Centers as Level III Patient-Centered Medical Homes. Most of the 21,000 patients WYH serves annually are under or uninsured minorities living in poverty. Moreover, the conditions of high rates of unemployment and poverty; and the lack of health insurance cause higher rates of morbidity and consequent health disparities amongst Whitney Young’s target patient population. Whitney Young Health works to alleviate barriers accessing care and augment its primary care services by providing transportation, translation, patient education, nutrition and case management services as well as by employing culturally diverse clinical and support staff.

Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center reposted this
Today, we were proud to stand with Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center and Albany County, NY as we announced a $375,000 donation to support the construction of their new pediatric and family medicine pods. The new space will play a pivotal role in supporting children and families in the Capital region by offering routine check-ups, mental and behavioral health services, urgent care options, preventative medicine, and more! “By investing in Whitney Young Health’s new pediatric health pod and family medicine pod, we are contributing to a health care system that is more responsive, equitable, and capable of meeting the evolving needs of the communities we serve,” said MVP Health Care’s president, Richard Dal Col, MD, MPH. “The new space represents the power of local collaboration and a shared vision for a healthier Capital Region. Together, we are not only opening a new facility, but we are making access to health care a gateway to a brighter future for children and families.” We know that the updates to the building will reduce barriers to care, improve access, and contribute to better health outcomes for all. Thank you to Whitney Young Health and Albany County for the opportunity to support our community together! #CommunityImpact #ChildrensHealth #FamilyHealth #TeamMVP
