Healthy Alliance

What Healthy Alliance does

Healthy Alliance Foundation Inc. is a New York-based nonprofit social care network organization founded in 2015 and headquartered in Schenectady. It was designated by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) as the Social Care Network (SCN) lead entity for three Upstate New York regions — Capital Region, Central New York, and North Country — collectively serving 24 counties and more than 705,000 residents. The organization connects Medicaid members to social-determinants-of-health resources including healthy food, housing support, transportation to medical and community services, and broader community-based support, addressing fragmentation in the social-care delivery system through a single coordinated hub.

The core service offering is a 12-question, 5-minute screening flow available via three channels: (1) a self-serve online form at healthyalliance.org/screening, (2) regional navigator phone lines (Capital Region 518-520-3211, Central NY 315-505-2290, North Country 518-656-8312, General 518-379-0233), and (3) in-person screening conducted through a partner-provider network of 1,300+ organizations spanning 62 NY counties. Supporting infrastructure includes an LMS training platform (lms.healthyalliance.org) for participating service providers, a searchable provider directory, and a fillable external referral PDF that lets clinical and community partners route members into the network. No proprietary AI/ML technology stack is disclosed; screening, eligibility determination, and resource matching are mediated by human navigators.

Healthy Alliance operates a managed-services revenue model funded entirely through government sources — specifically New York's Medicaid 1115 Waiver and the NYSDOH SCN designation — and provides services free of charge to eligible Medicaid members. The organization has accumulated 100,000+ Upstate New Yorkers connected to services and 80,000+ completed screenings (a figure that has more than doubled since program inception), and it operates as one of nine statewide SCNs that collectively hit a 1 million screenings milestone across New York. Its 11–50 employees execute across headquarters (Schenectady) and regional offices in Syracuse, Glens Falls, and Watertown.

Emerging players

• Health Leads: A national nonprofit connecting patients to essential resources such as food, housing, and utilities through community-based navigation. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in mission, target population (low-income/Medicaid), and resource-navigation model, though operates nationally without a designated state waiver role.
• Healthify: A social-care coordination platform used by health plans and providers to screen for unmet social needs and refer members to community resources. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in serving Medicaid populations and addressing SDOH, though operates as a B2B software vendor rather than a community-based lead entity.
• Cityblock Health: A value-based care provider serving Medicaid and dually eligible members with integrated medical, behavioral, and social care. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in addressing whole-person needs for low-income populations, though Cityblock delivers direct clinical services while Healthy Alliance coordinates non-clinical social services.
• Socially Determined: A social-risk analytics company that helps health systems and plans quantify and act on social determinants of health. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in addressing SDOH for Medicaid and vulnerable populations, though focuses on data and analytics rather than direct community navigation.
• HealthBegins: A consulting and technology firm helping healthcare organizations design and operate SDOH programs. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in addressing upstream social needs for Medicaid members, though operates as an advisory and tooling partner rather than a regional service delivery lead.

Broad incumbents

• Unite Us: A leading national social-care coordination platform connecting health and social service providers across states. Comparable to Healthy Alliance because both operate closed-loop referral networks for Medicaid and vulnerable populations, though Unite Us is venture-backed, multi-state, and technology-led rather than a regional nonprofit lead entity.
• Aledade: A national network of independent primary care practices operating under value-based care arrangements with health plans, including Medicaid. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in serving Medicaid populations and addressing upstream drivers of health, though focuses on physician-led ACOs rather than social-service coordination.
• Findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha): A national social-services search and referral network serving health plans, providers, and government agencies. Comparable to Healthy Alliance in addressing social determinants of health and connecting Medicaid members to community resources, but operates as a SaaS directory platform rather than as a designated waiver lead entity.
• Fidelis Care: A New York State-based Medicaid managed care plan serving more than 2 million members. Comparable to Healthy Alliance as a Medicaid-focused organization in New York State and a key upstream partner in addressing SDOH, though operates as a payor rather than as a designated Social Care Network lead entity.
• 211 / United Way: A nationwide free information and referral service connecting individuals to local health and social services via phone, web, and text. Comparable to Healthy Alliance as a referral and navigation layer for vulnerable populations, though 211 is a generic information line rather than a Medicaid-specific waiver lead entity.
