Finger Lakes Performing Provider System

About Finger Lakes Performing Provider System

Finger Lakes Performing Provider System Inc. stands out for the scale of its Medicaid delivery-system work: in recent grant data, it made multi-million-dollar financial incentives to implement DSRIP projects and later transformation projects across Rochester-area health systems and community partners. That pattern points to a funder that is not centered on small discretionary awards, but on structured support for healthcare redesign, care coordination, and workforce capacity. The foundation’s recent awards show both large system-level investments and targeted grants to organizations serving high-need patients. U of R Medical Center Smh Financial Services received $23,673,867 for DSRIP implementation, while Partner-Rochester Regional Health received $23,433,836 for the same purpose. Other grants show a continued emphasis on transformation work, with awards to Finger Lakes Migrant Health Project Inc, Catholic Charities Family and Community Services, and Children's Institute Inc tied to implementation projects and community health delivery changes. Its stated focus areas include Medicaid system transformation, care management and coordination, social determinants of health, behavioral health, maternal and child health, and workforce development. The organization also supports community-based provider organizations and clinical partners working to address health inequities across the Finger Lakes region.
