New York State Association of Health Care Providers

What New York State Association of Health Care Providers does

The New York State Association of Health Care Providers (HCP), founded in 1974 and headquartered in Albany, NY, is a private non-profit trade association that represents approximately 350 member offices of Licensed Home Care Services Agencies (LHCSAs), Certified Home Health Agencies (CHHAs), hospices, and health-related organizations across New York State. It operates as the premier industry association for the state's home and community-based care sector, with four regional chapters (Long Island, Greater NYC, Northeastern NY, and Western NY) that extend its reach for grassroots advocacy and local networking. The organization is governed by volunteer member leadership and supported by a small professional staff of 11-50 employees.

HCP's core product is membership, delivered through four tiers — Provider Members, Associate Members, Allied Members, and Health Related Organization Members — with annual recurring dues. Beyond dues, the association monetizes through annual conferences, workshops, webinars, advertising/sponsorship, and grant-funded programming. Member value is organized around five pillars: Advocacy (representation before state and federal officials, bill memos, testimony, HCP PAC, and an Advocacy Action Center), Information (HCP Insider weekly e-newsletter, HCP News, Member Alerts, and regulatory updates), Education (annual conference, coordinator's workshop, webinars, Foundation scholarships and mentorship), Benefits (vendor discounts and bottom-line cost savings), and Networking (regional chapters). Two affiliated entities expand programmatic reach: the Home Care Providers Foundation (HCPF), which delivers emergency preparedness training funded by NYS DOH (since 2006) and NYC DOHMH (since 2021) grants, and HCP PAC, the association's political action committee.

HCP operates under no proprietary technology platform; its digital surface consists of a content website (nyshcp.org), a member portal (MemberSuite), an online Find Home Care Agency directory, the Advocacy Action Center, and a recently introduced HCP Conference App. The business model is fundamentally a community-led, subscription-recurring association model where revenue is distributed across a large mid-market membership base (~350 of 1,300+ agencies statewide), with no single dominant customer. Growth has been steady rather than transformational, anchored by sustained grant funding for emergency preparedness and incremental programmatic additions rather than expansion outside New York State.

Broad incumbents

• National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC): National trade association representing home care and hospice providers across the U.S. NAHC is the federal-level counterpart to HCP, offering overlapping advocacy, education, and member services, and is a natural partner/competitor for HCP's member agencies seeking national representation.
• Home Care Association of America (HCAOA): National association representing home care agencies and franchise networks. HCAOA overlaps with HCP's advocacy and education mission for LHCSAs and personal care providers, and competes for associate/vendor member mindshare.

Direct peers

• LeadingAge New York: New York State affiliate of LeadingAge representing aging services providers, including home and community-based programs. Directly comparable to HCP as a NY-based trade association offering advocacy, education, and member benefits for providers serving older adults.
• Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS): Statewide hospital and health system association that also represents a broader continuum of providers including home health. Operates as a peer trade association with similar Albany-based advocacy and educational programming for NY healthcare providers.
• Visiting Nurse Associations of America (VNAA) / ElevatingHOME: National association for nonprofit home health and hospice agencies, overlapping with HCP's CHHA and hospice member segments in shared advocacy and quality improvement programming.

Regional players

• Home Care & Hospice Association of NJ: State-level trade association for home care and hospice providers in New Jersey. Closest geographic peer to HCP in mission, structure, and member composition, though serving a different state.
• Pennsylvania Homecare Association: Statewide PA association representing home health, hospice, and home care agencies with advocacy, education, and member services. Directly analogous model to HCP operating in an adjacent Medicaid-waiver state.
• Illinois HomeCare & Hospice Council: Statewide Illinois trade association for home care, hospice, and home health providers. Mirrors HCP's structure (advocacy, education, member benefits) for a similar provider mix in a different regulatory environment.
• Home Care Association of Florida: Florida state home care trade association representing LHCSA-type providers. Comparable regional peer to HCP in mission and membership model, though operating in a higher-volume managed Medicaid market.

Emerging players

• Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare: Coalition focused on federal advocacy for Medicare-certified home health agencies. Overlaps with HCP's CHHA member interests at the federal level and complements rather than directly competes with HCP's state-level focus.
