At EmblemHealth, we know that nothing is more important than access to quality doctors and health care facilities. Doctors who have specialized expertise. Doctors affiliated with great hospitals. Doctors who speak your language. That is why we work hard to attract and keep the best doctors and hospitals in each network. You can select a network that includes our physician group practices. They offer on-site labs and radiology, primary care physicians and specialists who work together, and a full range of commonly used health services, providing coordinated care at one convenient location.

We also know that quality health coverage means helping to keep you healthy, not just providing coverage when you are sick. That is why all of our EmblemHealth plans cover preventive care and offer a broad range of resources for living a healthy life or coping with a chronic medical condition.

With online tools and resources to help you better understand and manage your health, to incentives for healthier living, we work hard to keep you healthy.

Milbank Foundation for Rehabilitation was created as a public charity in 1995 as part of an historic affiliation between the ICD-International Center for the Disabled and the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center Network.

The Foundation's primary mission is to realize Jeremiah Milbank's vision of integrating people with disabilities into all aspects of American life. Its current priorities include, but are not limited to:

  • consumer-focused initiatives that enable people with disabilities to lead fulfilling, independent lives
  • health-related policy research, especially at state-based research organizations
  • improving the quality of, and individual control over, palliative care
  • identifying and inspiring emerging leaders in the disability community

The Achelis Foundation was founded by Elisabeth Achelis in 1940. Miss Achelis was born in Brooklyn Heights in 1880 and moved to Manhattan in 1901 where she resided until her death in 1973. Her father, Fritz Achelis, was the president of the American Hard Rubber Company, which produced a variety of products under the "Ace" trademark, including combs and bowling balls.

The charter of The Achelis Foundation states that its mission is "to aid and contribute to charitable, benevolent, educational and religious uses and purposes for the moral, ethical, physical, mental and intellectual well-being and progress of mankind; to aid and contribute to methods for the peaceful settlement of international differences; to aid and contribute to the furtherance of the objects and purposes of any charitable, benevolent, educational or religious institution or agency; and to establish and maintain charitable, benevolent and educational institutions and agencies."

Since its founding, The Achelis Foundation has made grants totaling over $41 million. Total assets of The Achelis Foundation were $37.6 million on December 31, 2010.
