New York State Health Home Directory (DOH)
Share
The New York State Department of Health (DOH) has created an online database to help families find a Health Home that serves their county.
A ´Health Home´ is not a physical place; it is a group of health care and service providers working together to make sure someone gets the care and services they need to stay healthy. Once enrolled in a Health Home, they will have a care manager that works with them to develop a care plan. A care plan maps out the services needed, to put them on the road to better health. Some of the services may include:
- Connecting to health care providers,
- Connecting to mental health and substance abuse providers,
- Connecting to needed medications,
- Help with housing,
- Social services (such as food, benefits, and transportation) or,
- Other community programs that can support and assist them.
