The New York State Health Foundation is a private, non-profit organization that was founded by the New York State government to make philanthropic activities with a view to improving the functioning of public health systems. We have received credits Empire Blue Cross Blue Shield, when he went to a non-profit corporation to a for-profit corporation. If so, how to leave an organization, the Empire, the economic value of the company in the non-profit sector.
It sounds complicated, but the good thing for the New Yorker, is that we now have a foundation, the approximately $ 20 million in the form of grants each year to help care organizations to vulnerable populations and want more and better health care. Most of our grants of a home on three themes: the efforts to expand insurance protection in the event of New York, efforts to improve the quality of care for people with diabetes, and that the epidemic of obesity, as well as efforts to improve the integration of services for the man to both mental health and the use of a substance problems.
A board of directors oversees all aspects of the Foundation’s activities. We are fortunate to have a group of nine leaders at the commune level, which has a wide range of funds, which are important for an organization like ours. The board of directors is composed of leading experts in health care and administrators, experts finance and investment, and people understand the basics of how to work. Our administrators are by the Governor, the head of the State Senate, and the leader of the State Assembly.
What is our perspective? We are a group of people who are very focused on a positive force for the improvement of health care in New York State and improving the health of New York. We believe that our resources are among the people of New York and we are working hard and well “administrator” of these resources. We try to potential grantees, which has a strong chance to succeed in efforts to improve health care and public health. We try hard, independent and open to ideas from across the spectrum of organizations try, the outcome of health care: small grass-roots organizations that are committed to improving human health and welfare, the non-profit organizations are trying so that our health care system work better and the entire range of suppliers everyday need to provide health care for New Yorkers.
