Long Island Select Healthcare

What Long Island Select Healthcare does

Long Island Select Healthcare, Inc. (LISH) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) and NYS Article 16 Rehabilitation Clinic headquartered in Central Islip, New York. Formed in 2014 through the consolidation of three Long Island human services agencies — Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI), Family Residences and Essential Enterprises (FREE), and United Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater Suffolk Inc. (UCP) — the organization began clinical operations on August 22, 2016. LISH operates six clinic sites across Suffolk County (Central Islip, Hauppauge, Riverhead, Smithtown, Manorville) with a seventh in Port Jefferson Station announced as coming soon, delivering care through 16 specialties spanning primary care, behavioral health and psychiatry, dentistry, dermatology, neurology, optometry, physiatry, podiatry, audiology, gynecology, allergy, and rehabilitation therapies (occupational, physical, speech).

LISH's technology platform is built on standard third-party healthcare infrastructure rather than proprietary systems: an eClinicalWorks patient portal, healow-powered online scheduling for primary care and psychiatry, Zoom for telehealth video visits, telephonic consultations, and a Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) program using condition-specific device kits (blood pressure monitors, scales, thermometers, pulse oximeters, glucose readers, digital stethoscopes) deployed to patient homes. RPM has been in place since 2014. A mobile mammogram van extends screening reach into the community.

The revenue model is a multi-stream non-profit structure typical of FQHCs: patient service revenue from Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance; a sliding-scale fee program for uninsured patients tied to family income and size; HRSA federal grant funding as a Health Center Program grantee under 42 U.S.C 254b; FTCA-deemed malpractice protection; and philanthropic donations and fundraising events such as the 1st Annual Benefit Golf Classic. The primary customer base is individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/D) — a large portion of the 6,000+ active patients — alongside general Suffolk County residents across the lifespan, accessed through community partnerships, school and physician referrals, and online self-serve scheduling. As of 2017, the organization delivered 70,000+ visits per year.
