WholeYouNYC Transforms Medicaid with Social Care Network

WholeYouNYC, New York's largest social care network, has screened nearly 600,000 Medicaid members for health-related social needs since its launch in 2022. This initiative connects members with local nonprofits to tackle issues like food, housing, and transport, making healthcare more than just doctor visits. It’s a big win for the Medicaid 1115 Waiver, which backs this approach, and its success story is urging policymakers to keep the program going beyond 2027. What does it mean for you? If you’re a Medicaid member in New York, this program means more support for your non-medical needs, aiming to improve your overall health and stability. So, it's not just about seeing a doctor—it's about getting help with the stuff that affects your health every day.
