NYS Balancing Incentives Program Outstanding Project Award

The Balancing Incentives Program provides states with financial incentives to increase access to non-institutional long-term services and supports (LTSS) and our project received recognition by the New York State Department of Health. Through our project we were able to expand our service area to Nassau and Westchester Counties for our Community Partners Program and created a referral tool to help care managers identify those who are most at risk for malnutrition.
