About New York State Health Fdn D/B/A New York Health Foundation
New York State Health Fdn D/b/a New York Health Foundation centers its funding on health equity in New York State, with grants that consistently support access to care, food security, veterans’ health, and systems change. The foundation’s recent work shows a strong emphasis on practical health interventions that can be scaled through policy analysis, convening, technical assistance, and capacity building. Among its larger awards, it gave $439,859 to New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation for improving access to and use of patient visit notes, and $320,000 to Public Policy and Education Fund of New York to build a coalition for New York’s end medical debt campaign. Other sizeable grants show the same pattern of pairing service delivery with structural change, including support for message development around coverage retention and for statewide efforts to expand primary care investment. Its portfolio also reaches into maternal and birth equity, telehealth for children, healthy food access, and the workforce needed to deliver care. The foundation funds both direct-service organizations and policy-oriented groups, which suggests an approach that combines implementation support with advocacy and research. Across recent grants, the focus stays on New York communities, especially people facing barriers tied to income, race, geography, or health system access.
