OUR STORY
Since 2015, Healthy Alliance and its network have been at the forefront of transforming the way health care is delivered within and across the communities they serve.
OUR MISSION
At Healthy Alliance, our purpose is to improve health and empower the underserved. Every community has its
own needs, affecting the health of those who live, learn, work, and play within them. Our network brings together
organizations, big and small, to coordinate and collaborate so that all communities have reliable access to the resources
they need. Why? Because every New Yorker deserves the same opportunity to be healthy.
