Enhancing the lives of economically disadvantaged patients in need of long-term medical care in New York City.
What We Do
Angelica offers recreational, educational, cultural and social programs that engage, stimulate, and promote community among the patient population. Most of our programs are based on the suggestions and recommendations of the patient committees who meet with us on a regular basis.
“Many of our programs offer opportunities to participate in activities like playing dominoes, learning to paint, going to a baseball game or singing at a party. It’s amazing how simple things can make a difference in someone’s life.”
— Trisha Duval, FOUNDER
