On November 10, CEO George Contos made his debut on City and State’s Nonprofit Power 100 list, coming in at 45. New York nonprofits employ more than 1.4 million people — more than any other state. The sector plays a critical role in the city's social and economic wellbeing and provides essential services to hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers, including health care, social services, education, and more.

On October 27, a nonprofit that provides services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) throughout Long Island was recognized as one of the region’s top employers. YAI – Seeing Beyond Disability, was one of 80 employers who received Newsday’s 2019 Top Long Island Workplaces award.

A new way of delivering healthcare to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) has come to New York. Launched in September, Premier HealthCare’s Telehealth Services enables patients with autism and other types of I/DD to access mental and physical health services without a trip to a doctor’s office or a break in their daily routines — both of which can be disruptive and unnerving for people with I/DD.
