"Health centers are just a critical foundation for the healthcare system, and if that foundation isn't strong, that has ripple effects throughout the whole system." - Rose Duhan, CHCANYS President and CEO

In many areas of the region, CHCs represent the only option for primary, preventative, and oral care for Medicaid patients.

"That disparity then is we're spending 70% more than we get reimbursed because the upstate health centers are reimbursed at a lower rate than the downstate health centers." - David Shippee, CEO, Whitney M. Young, Jr. Health Center

On average, community health centers in New York spend 40% more on a visit than they are reimbursed by Medicaid.

CHCANYS urges Governor Kathy Hochul to raise Medicaid rates for Community Health Centers in the upcoming state budget. CHCs serve more than 2.4 million New Yorkers at nearly 900 sites across New York State, providing essential primary, dental, and behavioral health care, in addition to social services. After 25 years of underinvestment, Community Health Centers are facing a financial crisis, with costs exceeding Medicaid reimbursement rates by 44%. We’re calling on Governor Hochul to raise Medicaid rates and address inequities in telehealth reimbursement to ensure our centers can continue serving our communities. They count on us. Can we count on you, Governor Hochul? Read our full letter to the Governor here:

"Telehealth is one of the bright spots that came out of the pandemic mess...It really revolutionized things for us, especially in our rural areas, like in the North Country."

Congratulations to Community Health Network - recipients of $1M in funding from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to strengthen transitions in care for people who will soon be released from jail or prison.
