Accountability with regard to local community needs and concerns is upheld through a high level of participation in the Lower East Side consortia and others working to improve health delivery in similar populations. Betances' staff participate as members in numerous citywide and national organizations: The Community Health Care Association of New York State, The National Association of Community Health Centers, The Federation of Protestant Welfare Agencies, The Hispanic Federation, and the New York AIDS Coalition.
