Business Journal of Central NY related that the Health Advancement Collaborative of Central New York (HAC-CNY) and the Central New York Health System Agency (CNYHSA) today announced plans to merge.
The collaboration is supported by over $1 million in state, foundation, and corporate grants, the organizations said in a news release.
The organizations will use a grant of $115,000 from the Buffalo-based Community Health Foundation of Western and Central New York and a $35,000 contribution from Rochester-based Excellus BlueCross Blue Shield to underwrite the costs of the consolidation process.
An additional $1 million grant under New York's Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law for New Yorkers Grant Program provides funding over two years to build the infrastructure for the collaboration and to conduct three studies.
The studies will focus on unnecessary emergency-room use, the need and demand for long-term care services, and the identification of future priorities based on a comprehensive assessment of regional health and health-service needs.
Formed in 2005 and based in Syracuse, HAC-CNY is a nonprofit collaboration of leaders and organizations in health care, business, and insurance that aims to address concerns over health-care access, quality, and cost in the area.
CNYHSA, based in DeWitt, is a nonprofit regional health-planning agency focused on system and program planning, policy development, data and financial analysis, utilization research, and project review.
