CRR is dedicated to offering culturally competent and high quality care to people with chemical dependence, developmental disabilities, HIV/AIDS, mental health concerns and families of such persons who reside in the Nassau County communities of Freeport, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Hempstead, New York. At the heart of our mission is to love and respect all persons with integrity and diligence in our words and deeds.Concerned about the disparities in health status among people of color the organization has made its mission to reduce the prevalence of racial and ethnic disparities in health and improve access to cultural and linguistically competent behavioral healthcare.
