Health Homes provide guidance and support for a healthier future.
A Health Home is not a place; it is a group of healthcare and service providers working together to make sure you get the care and services you need to stay healthy (New York State Department of Health). Our mission is to provide client-centered care management, advocacy and healthcare coordination for those with chronic and complex health and mental health care conditions. We work to eliminate barriers and improve health outcomes while reducing unnecessary utilization of the healthcare system.
