At Healthy Alliance, we lead the way in transforming how health care is delivered, shifting focus from singular medical interventions to a more proactive approach that addresses the whole needs of a person on a much larger scale. By addressing health from all angles, we are cultivating the type of change that improves health and empowers the underserved.

COMMUNITY RESOURCES
TO MEET YOUR NEEDS
People have complex health-related social needs – whether it’s limited access to healthy foods, a safe place to sleep, or warm clothing – requiring streamlined coordination of care between a variety of providers. Our local team works to get you connected to resources that are nearby (healthy food, help with doctor’s appointments, finding a counselor, getting enrolled in an educational program, and more) for free.
With ~1,300 partner locations spanning 24 counties in New York State, we believe everyone should have the same opportunity to be healthy.

Today was seriously SWEET! 🍬🍫
We satisfied a candy craving as we revealed the 2024 Q3 recipient of our Quarterly Employee Recognition Award at today’s all-staff meeting.
Starbursts because she’s an absolute star; Nerds because she’s full of insight and knowledge; 3 Musketeers because she’s team-oriented; and Wild Berry Skittles because she’s always ready to take wild times head on — all things that perfectly describe Sarah!
Congratulations, Sarah! We’re incredibly grateful for all you do! 🥳
While the candy will help fuel Sarah to keep communications on point, we couldn’t leave out the rest of the team from the sweet celebration. Shout out to Todd and Windy Hill Orchard for the delicious apple cider and cider donuts! 🍎🍩
