Celebrating the Cycle of Care A Message from the Chair and President & CEO Unity Health Care, Inc., (Unity) is the District of Columbia’s largest nonprofit health and social services organization. We address the physical and emotional well-being of the District’s most vulnerable residents. Most of the adults, adolescents, children, and infants we serve live at or below the poverty level and were doing so even when the nation’s economy was flourishing. In recent years, with the economic downturn, everyone has had to make due with less — a prospect that is significantly harder for those who start with so little. Despite the challenging economic times, we at Unity formulated a plan to accommodate the increased need for health care. We expanded our services with new facilities and treatment options. In 2009, our patients made 535,500 visits to Unity health centers, which is a 24 percent increase from 2007. We were able to increase our capacity for giving care largely because of our significant and diverse group of Partners in Caring — nonprofit organizations, corporations, foundations, government agencies and individuals who support our work. Together, Unity and our partners create a cycle of care that flows from funder to provider and from provider to patient. Because of our partners — because of the cycle of care — Unity is serving patients in every ward in the District. Without Unity, some of these patients would frequent emergency rooms, which is the most costly way to provide medical care. Many would not have any access to quality, comprehensive, affordable health care. The support of our Partners in Caring makes it possible for us to serve our patients. They share in our efforts; they are part of our successes. Your support of Unity Health Care will help us maintain the cycle of care so we can continue to meet the health needs of the District’s most medically vulnerable individuals and families.
