WeLinkCare

At Forward Leading IPA, we understand that a healthy community starts with more than just healthcare. Our Social Care Network (SCN) connects individuals and families to vital resources that address the social factors affecting health, from housing and employment to food and transportation.

What is the Social Care Network? The Social Care Network is a collaborative effort, bringing together health centers, behavioral health providers, and community-based organizations (CBOs) to create an integrated delivery system that tackles the root causes of health disparities. By linking health services with social care, we aim to improve the overall well-being of  individuals on Medicaid across the Finger Lakes region.
