Seven Valley’s Health Coalition

What Seven Valley’s Health Coalition does

Seven Valleys Health Coalition (SVHC) is a Cortland County, New York-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit community health coalition founded around 2000, structured as a portfolio of free, grant-funded programs rather than a unified technology product. Its four program verticals are community health education, food systems work (anchored by Seven Valleys Food Rescue and the Produce Prescription program), maternal health (the Doula Partnership and Cortland Breastfeeding Partnership), and social supports (2-1-1 Cortland information and referral, VITA tax preparation, and Medicaid 1115 waiver navigation). Primary beneficiaries are Cortland County residents experiencing food insecurity, Medicaid members with health-related social needs, pregnant and postpartum individuals, and low-income taxpayers; in 2025 the organization distributed 104,933 pounds of food (48,554 pounds rescued from landfill, double 2024), served 55 households through Produce Prescription, generated 1,887 service referrals through 2-1-1 Cortland, and supported over 100 clients with transportation assistance.

SVHC operates without proprietary technology, relying instead on Squarespace CMS, email marketing tools, and community resource databases. Its competitive advantage is grounded in dense local relationships across Guthrie Cortland Medical Center, Healthy Alliance (the Social Care Network for Cortland County under the Medicaid 1115 waiver), the Food Bank of Central New York, county government, schools, 35 farms across 20 New York counties, and approximately 15 area food pantries. Funding is primarily grant-based, with disclosed awards including $15,000 from Excellus BCBS (2023 Health Equity Innovation Award), $5,000 from the Central New York Community Foundation's Bright Ideas Grant (2025), and $46,100 from the NYS Farmers Market Resiliency Program (2025), supplemented by Nourish NY, HPNAP, DEC Food Relief Equipment Grant, AmeriCorps support, and direct community fundraising such as the Kiss the Calf Campaign.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there is no formal pricing because all SVHC services are delivered free of charge to eligible community members. Leadership is split between two referenced Executive Director identities in the source material (Jackie Leaf and Jackie Cooper), with Anna Wells as Assistant Director, a Social Care Navigator team addressing Medicaid screenings, and Nicole Anjeski (Cortland County Public Health Director) as Board Chair.
