NHS Human Services Facts at a Glance


NHS Human Services (“NHS”), and its subsidiaries, is a major provider of community-based behavioral healthcare, serving the special needs of over 50,000 children and adults annually.

At numerous program sites throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and Virginia, NHS is proud to enlist a deeply committed and highly renowned staff of human service professionals with years of front-line experience in serving individuals struggling with daunting life challenges.  These NHS employees bring compassion and commitment to their daily work, and to the individuals they serve.
NHS is a nationally recognized human service organization whose programs provide care to children and adults in the following areas:  Behavioral Health, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities, Juvenile Justice, Addictive Diseases, Elder Care, Autism, Special Education and Early Intervention and Therapeutic Foster Care.
NHS differentiates itself from other behavioral healthcare providers in that most mental health and mental retardation services are performed by relatively small community agencies that focus on a single type or narrow range of services.
The full range of integrated behavioral healthcare and mental retardation services provided by NHS, along a continuum of care, help distinguish NHS from its competitors.

The work of NHS is anchored in the firm belief that it is every individual’s right to achieve growth, dignity and fulfillment in their lives.
