<p>Urban Health Plan (UHP) is a network of federally qualified community health centers based in the South Bronx and Queens. Its mission is to improve the health status of underserved communities. In 2008, UHP served 31,000 patients through 171,000 patient visits at four clinic sites, five school-based clinics, and four off-sites.  It has served the Hunts Point, Mott Haven and other surrounding communities of the Bronx since 1974.</p>
<p>As a federally qualified health center, UHP plays a vital role in providing health services to poor and medically underserved populations who often have difficulty accessing quality health care.</p>
<p>Over the years, UHP has developed many health improvement initiatives including a nationally acclaimed asthma management program, programs in childhood obesity prevention, nutrition, HIV/AIDS care, and mental health services.  UHP is one of the first community health centers in New York who fully uses electronic medical records and is currently using iris recognition technology to identify patients.</p>
<p>In 2006 UHP received the National Exemplary Award from the United Estate Environmental Protection Agency for its efforts to reduce asthma rates in Hunts Point.  It has been named one of the top twenty-five Hispanic not-for-profits in the country by Hispanic Business Magazine for the past three years.  In the summer of 2009 UHP was named one of the top twenty community health centers in the country and received the Davies Award for Excellence from the Health Information Management Systems Society for its excellence in the use of electronic health records.</p>
