About The Partnership

The Partnership will maintain and uphold the values of person-centered rehabilitation and recovery while focusing on the needs of people throughout the life cycle, from birth to older adulthood. To do so, we will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including peer advocates; public and private payers; behavioral health, physical, and social services providers; and an array of advocates, academics, investors, and vendors to identify multi-faceted solutions and disseminate them throughout New York State’s service provider community.

Our Vision: Every New Yorker should have access to comprehensive, coordinated, integrated services that are person-centered, culturally competent and data driven.

Guiding values: The Partnership is committed to a health and human services delivery system that

• Promotes Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and anti-racism practices

• Provides person-centered, culturally appropriate care

• Addresses the true impediments to integration

• Promotes transformational, representative, and inclusive change that challenges the status quo and produces deep, lasting change

Our approach: By developing a broad-based partnership with credibility in different sectors of the delivery system, we will enable the information exchange, idea sharing, and creative, collaborative problem solving that will facilitate true integration.

• We will advance whole person, integrated and interdisciplinary care that is flexible and responsive to a rapidly evolving service environment

• We will emphasize the role of recovery peer advocates, mental health peers, Community Health Workers (CHWs) and other non-clinical roles in order to leverage positive health outcomes, enrich the workforce, empower consumers, and implement best practices

• By providing training that is interdisciplinary and integrated, we will offer a tangible demonstration of the power of collaboration in an environment of collective problem solving

• We will develop regional learning collaboratives and working groups to respond to unique and evolving community and provider needs

• Our T/TA will be focused on transformation and support necessary for organizations to successfully adopt and integrate a comprehensive range of health and human services

• We will be flexible to respond to varied levels of organizational maturity, readiness, and integration

The Partnership for Integrated Care receives generous support from the New York Community Trust, The NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) and The NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS)
