About Episcopal Health Services
Inc.
The story of Episcopal Health
Services Inc. is one of selfless giving, compassion,
and fortitude. In 1850, four Episcopalian women from
Brooklyn made a commitment to take care of three elderly
women in their homes. That small seed was nurtured
and grew into the thriving and fruitful tree known
as Episcopal Health Services (EHS).
Episcopal Health
Services, formerly the Church Charity Foundation of
Long Island, was founded in 1851 to provide for "the
spiritual and temporal wants of destitute widows and
orphans, aged poor and needy sick and every class of
suffering children."
Today, more than a century and
a half later, Episcopal Health Services still believes
in that special responsibility of meeting the needs
of everyone in its communities. Each site serves a
cross-section of its service area, in Brooklyn, Queens,
and Nassau.
As part of the Episcopal
Health Services family, you can feel secure that you
and your loved ones will be provided with around-the-clock
care, without having to leave the
community you have grown to love.
