The Beacon Group began providing clinical services to the I/DD community in 1992 through a partnership with Staten Island Hospital. In the early years, the business was predominately focused on providing clinical services to Article 16 programs, in residential and early childhood, and Head Start programs in New York City. As the landscape and support for I/DD clinical services evolved over the ensuing decades, the Beacon Group expanded to meet the growing need of our agency partners.
Today we work with a large number of agencies, supplementing their direct care workforce, providing training, management consulting, recruiting and clinical services.
Our motto is simple – if you need something to support your agency – let us know. Your business is our business. Just as we began sending nurses into group homes because a program manager asked us to, we are here to support your agency and we are always looking to meet a new challenge.
