United Health Services (UHS) (United Health Services Hospitals, Inc.) is the largest and most comprehensive provider of healthcare services in upstate New York's Southern Tier.[3]
A locally owned, not-for-profit system, it is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed of residents from around the region.[4] Founded in [Greater Binghamton] in 1981, UHS was formed through the consolidation of three highly respected community hospitals. Over the years it has grown to encompass four hospitals, long-term care and home care services, walk-in centers and affiliated physician practices in [Broome] and surrounding counties.
The organization operates primary care centers throughout Broome, Chenango, Delaware and Tioga, Otsego, and Sullivan counties, plus school-based health centers that offer primary and preventive care to students in the region.
UHS cares for two-thirds of the population of the Southern Tier region and produces $1.3 billion a year in total non-profit economic impact.[5] With a 6,300-member work force across 60 locations, UHS is one of the region's largest employers.[6]
