UNC helped me get my medicine when it wasn’t at the pharmacy. The nurse called my doctor’s office and made sure it was sent in. She helped me change pharmacies so my pills come in a box. It is delivered to my house now.
Review from Guidestar
Over 25 years I saw a great need among the homeless community as well as youngsters in crisis. However, when I arrived at the doors of UNC I was totally impressed by the need of clients and even more impressed by the kind heart of people such as Mari (the front desk administrator) sought of speak. She shows empathy in great proportions as well as professionalism beyond any I have ever seen elsewhere. Without a doubt these folks here truly go beyond and care about their clients. god bless them all. Mike Hanley should be gleaming with pride, great job.
I worked for UNC until I retired. I continue to be impressed with the good work this agency does for the underserved in Lackawanna County. Wherever a need is recognized, UNC is there to fill it. I commend Mike Hanley for his vision and leadership of this wonderful agency.
