A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND PRESIDENT

Synergistically Yours,

Robert S. Budd, CEO Dr. Christopher D. Long, President

As we reflect on the past year, we are proud to share the many accomplishments we collectively realized in 2016.

First, we were privileged to be awarded the coveted three-year Quality Assurance National Accreditation from The Council on Quality and Leadership (CQL). For more than 40 years, CQL has been a leader in raising the bar for human service organizations and systems to continuously define, measure and improve the quality of life of all people. Organizations that are awarded accreditation by CQL meet a stringent set of criteria and demonstrate an on-going commitment to person-centered excellence. The CQL Person-centered Excellence Accreditation process was an important avenue for all of us to reaffirm our commitment to providing the highest level of services focused on helping individuals with developmental disabilities to participate and succeed in today’s society. Further, it served as an opportunity for our team to learn and obtain additional resources to continue to refine and improve the supports and services which allow the individuals we serve to live the lives they want. Additionally, FREE received another three-year Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities International (CARF) accreditation. This honor serves as continued evidence that FREE strives to improve efficiency, fiscal health and service delivery, and creates a foundation for individual satisfaction.

FREE has also celebrated expansions of services to include: Stop the Bounce, Wyandanch Workforce Readiness, Hospital Diversion, housing services – the development of six new homes to support the intellectually disabled and mental health communities – and a robust partnership and launch of the first ever cohort graduate program for our employees co-created with the reputable Stony Brook University.

We are deeply gratified that we continue to receive recognition for our steadfast commitment to providing exceptional services. We look forward to working with all of you to continue to enhance our systems directly related to person-centered services and in empowering the people who receive support from us to make choices in how they live their lives … where they work, where they live and how they create a community.

Robert S. Budd,CEO

The information gathered during these interviews is invaluable not only to help the individuals we support to realize their self-identified outcomes, but also to help us evaluate and refine our existing practices as we continue to improve our supports and services throughout the organization.

Providing the highest possible quality of supports and services and is FREE’s primary purpose and objective. We, as an organization, define quality as providing supports and services in true partnership with the individual receiving them. Quality represents a balance between individual choice and personal protections to enhance the individual’s ability to manage their own life decisions. This is achieved by helping the person served to realize his or her personal outcomes, contributing toward a meaningful, productive life of their own choosing while assuring their personal health and safety.

The FREE Network experienced its fourth consecutive year of growth in the number of individuals we support who are gainfully employed, and the largest year-to-year increase to date, with 224 additional people who were gainfully employed in comparison to 2015. We look forward to another year of strong growth in this area in 2017!

ENSURE FISCAL VIABILITY AND HEALTH

While the majority of this increase is from Medicaid or Medicaid related revenue sources, FREE did realize an increase in monthly Non-Medicaid related revenue of more than 8 percent in 2016.

Art TherapyNews 12 did a story on Peter B., a FREE artist, and our art program. Peter’s art, “Florida,” is part of the Landscape Constructions collection and was designed as a wine label for LENZ Winery. FREE believes that art therapy provides a powerful means for healing and communication for anyone, but especially for people who find it difficult to express their thoughts and feelings through spoken words alone.

Stop the BounceLong Island Business News and FiOS1 Push Pause featured stories on Chris Long’s book, Stop the Bounce. Stop the Bounce is an initiative to support those in foster care in need of a loving home. The title refers to the “bounce” that many foster care children experience as they go from foster home to foster home without finding permanency. FREE’s vision is that Stop the Bounce

will facilitate a reduction in the amount of time children spend in foster care and increase the number of long term stable adoptions.
