Its primary goal is to serve the population by improving the coordination of health-care services, “enhancing the quality of performance outcomes, and creating an overall better system of care for patients,” per the St. Luke release.
CNY Cares established the Innovation Fund in 2017 to help coordinate services and improve care for Medicaid and uninsured patients by funding “creative approaches” that address physical, social, and mental-health needs while fostering cross-sector partnerships.
