Complimentary Webinar: Social Care Networks: Opportunities for Provider Participation and Impact

The Situation Report | July 7, 2025

The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) will host a health care and behavioral health provider webinar titled, “Social Care Networks: Opportunities for Provider Participation and Impact,” on Monday, July 14, 2025, from 11 a.m. to noon. Registration is required.

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is for health care and behavioral health providers and leaders involved in population health, social care, or care management from hospitals, health systems, primary care practices, behavioral health organizations, and community health centers, including federally qualified health centers. 

What Information Will be Covered?

The webinar will include an overview of the SCN program and provide insight into key operational aspects for providers who may be interested in participating, such as onboarding and contracting with an SCN and ways to connect to the SCN Information Technology platform.

In January 2025,  DOH launched the Social Care Network (SCN) program to expand access to health-related social need (HRSN) services among NYS Medicaid members. Nine regional SCNs are coordinating networks of community-based organizations, health care and behavioral health providers, and other partners to provide HRSN screenings, navigation, and enhanced HRSN services to qualifying NYS Medicaid members. 

DOH has requested feedback to best understand how the SCN program can most effectively reach and meet the needs of NYS Medicaid members. NYS DOH will address and respond to feedback via the webinars and use it to identify potential opportunities for program improvement and inform the development of additional program resources. 

Please complete the Social Care Network (SCN) Program Survey, which takes five minutes to complete, to provide feedback and insights, no later than Thursday, July 10 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
