Inclusive Alliance

The long-awaited NYS Medicaid 1115 waiver Social Care Network (SCN) awards have been announced! Inclusive Alliance congratulates the awardees and offers our support and collaboration. More information below ⬇ #socialdriversofhealth #healthequity #collaboration #Medicaid

Since we shared the exciting news that Inclusive Alliance has been recognized as a Community Care Hub by the Center of Excellence at USAging and won a highly competitive, national grant for multi-year funding to support our work, we've received questions asking how CCHs are different from Medicaid 1115 waiver Social Care Networks (SCN). One major difference is that Inclusive Alliance IS a CCH but is NOT in the running to be a SCN. With at least two other strong SCN applicants for Central New York and CBO members in other SCN regions, we will focus on our CCH role while offering to collaborate with and support the SCNs. We are encouraging our CBO network to prepare to engage with the successful SCN applicants in their regions once awards are announced. Check out the infographic below for more key differences. We view the CCH and the SCN as a complimentary initiatives, addressing different populations and services, but both working to elevate the role of CBOs in the local delivery system. They are not either/or concepts, but rather both exciting opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities. #networks #CBOs #collaboration #community #socialdriversofhealth

Did you catch the Tradeoffs podcast on NPR this weekend talking about Health Related Social Needs? This insightful conversation even mentioned the NYS DOH 1115 Waiver and how states like New York are investing in Social Care. As health care delivery has evolved in the last two decades, the question is no longer whether to address people's social needs, but how best to do that. We're proud of the crucial work that our network members play in addressing the needs of individuals in our community. From housing and food security to transportation and mental health support, our members provide a comprehensive array of services tailored to the specific needs of our community members. Together with our partner organizations, we're working towards a future where everyone in our community has access to the support they need to thrive. https://lnkd.in/djWJE6fq #HealthcareInnovation #NYS1115Waiver #SocialCareNetwork #CommunitySupport #1115waiver #inclusivealliance
