Strengthening Families Across Long Island
– Released December 2022
This 3rd Annual Report demonstrates that 2021 was a transition year, recovering from the pandemic with a bounce back in numbers of referrals from health providers and the return of developmental concerns as a high priority. Yet, the basic needs with which families so needed support during the pandemic remained constant. This continues to play out in the current year. New communities continued to find HMGLI and families found us through many channels. None of this would be possible without partnership; HMGLI represents the commitment of community partners across Long Island to come together and work towards building a better system for families with young children.
