Mission Statement
One hundred years ago the ILGWU’s Union Health Center began with a single physician in a small examining room trying to determine the extent of tuberculosis in the garment workers of New York City and to halt its spread. It became the mission of the Center to provide accessible, quality health care for immigrant garment workers. Today we serve workers, families and retirees from many unions.
