Since 2012, Hudson Valley Care Coalition (HVCC), a 501c3 nonprofit, has been the Hudson Valley’s trusted connector for clinical, behavioral, and social care. We convene FQHCs, behavioral health providers, payers, hospital systems, county governments and community organizations to deliver coordinated, person-centered, value-based care for Medicaid members. Our work covers the spectrum from prevention to complex care. As the Lead Health Home, Behavioral Health Independent Practice Association and Lead Social Care Networks, HVCC manages an integrated network of 100+ partners across seven Hudson Valley counties.
By aligning community-based support with healthcare systems and managed care goals, HVCC helps partners improve outcomes, get connected to resources, reduce avoidable ER visits and hospital admissions, and meet the demands of value-based care. We provide the infrastructure, technology, and partnerships that give every Medicaid member a clear path to whole-person health.
HVCC delivers measurable results through the organization’s Health Home program—serving more than 5,000 high-need Medicaid members with complex medical and social challenges.

Hudson Valley Care Coalition (HVCC) is deeply committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA). We strive to break down systemic barriers and create an environment where all individuals feel safe, respected, and valued. Our organization is built on principles of mutual respect, collaboration, and belonging, ensuring that DEIA is a core part of everything we do.
We celebrate the unique differences that each person brings to our organization. HVCC embraces a wide spectrum of identities, including—but not limited to—differences in age, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability (both visible and invisible), socioeconomic status, religion, political affiliation, language, veteran status, family or marital status, and life experiences. These differences make us stronger, more compassionate, and more effective in our mission.
Our DEIA efforts are woven into every aspect of our operations, including hiring, compensation, training, advancement, and workplace culture. HVCC promotes an environment where equity and inclusion are evident in our policies and daily practices. We are intentional about creating spaces that encourage respectful communication, teamwork, work/life balance, and ongoing professional and personal growth.
We also understand that creating a truly inclusive workplace requires honest dialogue and the courage to confront inequity. HVCC encourages open conversations about discrimination and inequity, acknowledging the historic and ongoing challenges faced by marginalized groups, including First Nations, Black, and People of Colour. This commitment applies across our entire network—to employees, clients, partners, contractors, vendors, and all individuals who interact with HVCC.
