Social Care Network

What is a Social Care Network?

The Social Care Network program helps reduce health disparities in low-income communities by using federal funding to connect Medicaid members with essential support—such as healthy meals, housing assistance, transportation, and other social services that influence overall health. By bringing social care and health care together, this program supports a major goal of the New York Health Equity Reform (NYHER) waiver amendment.
