WHO WE ARE
Working with community-based organizations, health systems, managed care plans, and government agencies, we improve health equity and population health for low-income New Yorkers navigating complex health issues.
We address overlapping health conditions (mental illness, substance use disorders, HIV, and Hepatitis C) and socio-economic barriers (such as lack of housing, unemployment, and involvement in the criminal justice system).
We advance innovative and integrated models of primary care, behavioral health treatment, housing, and human services that address the needs of complex populations.
OUR SERVICES
Business Planning
As a result of health care delivery system reform efforts and the expansion of Medicaid, community-based organizations have unprecedented opportunities but also considerable challenges. Many organizations feel like they are “building the plane while it is taking off.” Our team evaluates these opportunities and develops needs assessments, business plans, value propositions, and strategic plans to best position our clients for success.
Grant Writing
We secure grant funding to support innovative community-based services. We specialize in obtaining funding from city, state, and federal government agencies. We work with a number of community health centers funded through the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Program. Our staff are experts in developing succinct funding proposals that clearly articulate the need for a proposed project and detail a clear approach to achieving the stated goals.
Regulatory Approvals
We support organizations in overcoming regulatory barriers to accessing Medicaid and other third-party payments in order to provide long-term funding solutions for medical, mental health, and substance use treatment programs, and ensure sustainability. Our team helps throughout the entire approvals process by preparing all the application components, developing financial projections, facilitating New York State’s survey process, and managing all other activities related to opening a new facility.
Evaluation
Our team works with clients to design and implement comprehensive evaluation plans that include logic model development, identification of process and outcome indicators, and statistical data analysis plans. We support clients in establishing the systems and tools needed to collect and monitor data that inform program improvements and assess program success and ensure that evaluation is integrated into the agency’s existing quality improvement efforts.
Health Care Reform Initiatives
We collaborate with a broad range of agencies to advance the health care reform agenda in New York and achieve the Triple Aim—higher quality care and improved health outcomes at lower cost. Our work includes identifying and acquiring resources to support health care reform implementation; advocating for policy change and funding opportunities at the state and city levels; participating in city and statewide workgroups and initiatives; and closely monitoring changes in policy, regulatory, and funding environments to ensure our clients’ ongoing success in the evolving health care landscape.
Coalition Support
We convene or participate in several NYC-wide coalitions that meet to share best practices and work to identify innovative solutions to emerging challenges. The coalitions include payers, hospitals, community-based medical and behavioral health providers and social service organizations, and state and local government agencies. We support meeting planning, execution, and follow-up activities as well as provide technical support in the form of policy analysis, data presentations, and report development and distribution, among other activities.
OUR TEAM
Established in 2011, we’ve had some extraordinary folks at the firm, all with Masters degrees and a penchant for working in public health. Our current team includes the following rockstars:
