Thank you so much, Amanda, for sharing your experience and helping spread the word about Healthy Alliance! 💙 We really appreciate when community members take the initiative to share helpful resources with others.
Just to clarify a few details: Healthy Alliance supports Medicaid members in the Capital Region, Central New York, and the North Country. Other Social Care Networks across New York State offer similar services in their own regions - so this is a statewide Program! Our goal is to work alongside existing social supports to connect people with resources in their community. Many who qualify for Medicaid may not meet the requirements for other programs, and that’s where we can help bridge the gap!
If you’re interested in getting connected to resources, the first step is to take a quick screening so we can see what you may be eligible for and how we can help.
👉 You can take our self-screening on our website at:
