In New York City, there is no shortage of fun, energy and opportunity.
The Big Apple is comprised of five boroughs, or counties – Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each is home to unique neighborhoods that reflect diverse cultures, languages and ethnicities that make New York City a true melting pot.
It is also home to world-renown entertainment, sports and cultural institutions, retail shops and thousands of restaurants, all of which are easily accessible by car or public transportation from Urban Health Plan sites.

Relocating? Where to live in the tristate area:
Deciding to relocate to the tristate area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut) can be a complex transition that impacts you personally and professionally. We can provide you with relocation resources to make your move smooth and stress-free.
In addition to being close to wonderful Bronx neighborhoods, UHP is centrally located near the suburbs of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and other New York City boroughs, like Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens counties.
Close to the Bronx is Manhattan, often considered the “core” of the Big Apple, which is home to trendy and upscale neighborhoods such as the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Harlem and Washington Heights, exciting entertainment and nightlife, numerous museums and cultural institutions and historic landmarks. It will also be home to the transformational Hudson Yards development, a mix of residential, retail and park space.
Queens and Brooklyn offers a mix of suburban and urban residential communities. Residents of both boroughs often closely identify with their neighborhood, such as Corona, Jackson Heights, Long Island City or Astoria in Queens and Williamsburg, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope in Brooklyn, rather than with the borough or city. Both boroughs are a patchwork of unique neighborhoods, each with its own distinct identity. Several of these neighborhoods are home to a diverse mix of ethnicities and cultures.
East of Queens and Brooklyn are Nassau and Suffolk counties, which make up Long Island. Like New Jersey, Long Island is known for its miles of coastlines bordering Long Island Sound to the North and the Atlantic Ocean to the South. Its upscale communities, excellent school districts, and beautiful beaches make Long Island a popular and scenic place to live.
Travel a few miles north from Urban Health Plan and you will find yourself near the historic Hudson River towns of Westchester County. The area’s beauty, the historic attractions and the excellent schools make Westchester a wonderful place to live and raise children.
Further east of Westchester County is Connecticut, a southern New England state that’s a mix of coastal cities and rural areas dotted with small towns. Known for its picturesque coastline along Long Island Sound, Connecticut
A few miles west of our main site is New Jersey, accessible by the George Washington Bridge and known for its proximity to New York City and its wonderful beaches. New Jersey’s crown jewel is the 127 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline that runs from Sandy Hook to Cape May. Along the state’s shore towns are beautiful barrier islands, majestic lighthouses, scenic views and New Jersey’s famous boardwalks.
