Resources & Reports

Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010, the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHealth), in partnership with numerous grantees and allies, has made it a key priority to help New York State prepare for effective implementation of health reform. But have NYSHealth’s investments made a difference?

The Foundation often takes a step back after funding a series of grants designed to affect health policy, health service improvements, or overall improvements in health. Over time, the Foundation has produced special reports to assess our contribution or direct impact upon observable changes as a result of these sets of grants. These reports summarize the findings and lessons that emerged and conclude with reflections on the overall contribution or impact of these grant series.

In this NYSHealth-funded report, the Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS) identifies ways New York State’s federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) could provide more than 1 million additional visits and serve hundreds of thousands more patients each year.
