Food as Medicine: Findhelp Partners with Attane Health to Support Severe Food Allergies

According to Food Allergy Research & Education, caring for children with food allergies cost U.S. families nearly $33 billion in 2024 (adjusted from a 2011–2012 analysis). Emergency department visits and hospitalizations to treat food allergy reactions result in costs that are 2.5 times higher for low-income children. Findhelp is partnering with Attane Health to address these widespread needs. We support individuals with severe food allergies by connecting them with specialized meals and food to improve their health outcomes.

Nonprofits like the Food Equality Initiative and organizations like Attane Health are stepping up to support families and children with severe food allergies. Watch our short film, and read on to learn how Findhelp and Attane Health can support your patients and members.



From Nonprofit to Nationwide Services: Attane Health

Emily Brown (featured in the film above) is a thought leader in the “food is medicine” movement and knows firsthand the importance of having access to the right foods. As her own family struggled to afford the foods her children with chronic conditions needed to stay healthy, she was inspired to take action. After founding and running the Food Equality Initiative, she went on to found Attane Health.

Attane Health provides inclusive access to personalized, nutritious groceries and educational resources for those living with chronic health conditions and severe food allergies. It is a patient-driven, digital health platform that provides personalized food selection within the individual’s cultural norms and preferences, while allowing patients, providers, and payers to measure specific health outcomes.


Partnering to Provide Personalized Food & Nutrition Care

Attane Health partners with payers, providers, hospitals, and community-based organizations to change the way healthcare treats patients living with chronic medical conditions. Your care navigators can easily screen patients for specific nutritional needs and direct them to Attane Health  to provide inclusive access to personalized, nutritious groceries and educational resources.

Attane Health and Findhelp are partnering to offer customers inclusive access to personalized, nutritious groceries, prescription produce boxes, health coaching, and educational resources for those living with chronic health conditions and severe food allergies. 

  • Improved Health Outcomes: Personalized nutrition and health coaching, leading to better health, reduced healthcare costs, and overall well-being.
  • Equity in Healthcare Access: Focus on underserved areas and respects cultural preferences, ensuring everyone has access to quality care and nutrient-dense groceries through direct-to-home delivery.
  • Lower Total Cost of Care: Promote preventive care and personalized nutrition, lowering costs for health plans and healthcare providers.
  • Increased Member Engagement: Personalized solutions cater to individual needs and preferences, encouraging active involvement in healthcare decisions and better adherence to treatment plans.
  • Effective Health Education & Empowerment: Improve nutritional literacy and offer resources for informed dietary choices, fostering long-term behavior changes and sustainable lifestyle improvements.
Findhelp partners with Attane Health so support food allergies.


Connect Individuals to Attane Health, Directly from Findhelp

Your staff and navigators can find your unique program card with your specific eligibility criteria, place referrals, and directly connect individuals with services to support their health and address their severe food allergies.  

  1. Staff navigate to your Attane Health program card on your branded Findhelp platform to verify eligibility information.
  2. A referral is created, with the individual’s consent, and sent to the Attane Health team. They follow up with the individual and provide personalized health coaching, nutrient-dense groceries, and produce boxes.
  3. Attane Health updates the referral to ‘Got Help’ and closes the loop, so you can track outcomes.

This workflow reduces documentation and streamlines efficiency while capturing relevant social determinants of health (SDoH) data about the populations you serve. You can track updates, close the loop on referrals, and analyze individual and aggregate data to drive strategic decisions. You can share your Attane Health programs in over 100 different languages via the Findhelp platform.



Partner With Us to Address Severe Food Allergies

Food allergies are a growing public health concern that affect an estimated 8% of children in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). More than 1 in 10 adults and 1 in 13 children experience food allergies. 

Connect with us to learn how we can partner to support your patients and members who struggle with food allergies.

Watch | “American Compassion LIVE” from Findhelp and The LBJ School of Public Affairs

As part of our mission to build a better social safety net, Findhelp fosters conversations about the state of modern social care and ways to improve it. To that end, we are thrilled about last week’s kick-off to Season 3 of American Compassion: The Safety Net Podcast, in partnership with The LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas-Austin.

Available now, the first episode, “The Broken U.S. Safety Net”, is a discussion among a diverse group of experts who share their perspectives and experiences about what’s not working when it comes to social care.


Watch the first episode of “American Compassion: LIVE”



American Compassion Season 3, Episode 1: “The Broken U.S. Safety Net“

We kicked off Season 3 with a big picture look at the modern safety net. Erine Gray, Findhelp’s Founder and CEO, joined Professor Maninder “Mini” Kahlon of Dell Medical School, Turning Point Center Founder Isha Deselle, and Dr. Pritesh Gandhi, Chief Community Health Officer for Walmart. The discussion, moderated by Rebecca McInroy, centered on the systems that make up our safety net and the elements needed to improve it.  


The challenge: reliance on individuals

The panelists reflected on the number of people in our communities who move through the health care and safety net systems. Often, they are reliant on assistance from individuals who know their communities. “I am never looking for people. They are always looking for me,” said Isha Deselle, about the experiences of people seeking help at the Turning Point Center.

Isha went on to share the wide variety of needs that people have. Dr. Pritesh described his former experience as the Chief Medical Officer of The Department of Homeland Security. He recounted how important it was to know individuals at community organizations who could address the immediate needs of immigrant families. 


The solution: human connection

The panelists also spoke about the importance of service connection and human connection. “We have to be connected,” said Professor Mini. “There are massive systems relying on individual people.” She lamented that the solution, human connection, is not easily funded. 

When reimagining the safety net, the panelists agreed that material progress could be made with additional investments in social services. While healthcare settings are a natural place for social care needs to surface, there was consensus that more investment needs to be directed to the people in the community who are the real connection points and the ones providing help.

Dr. Pritesh talked about the healthcare spend in the United States and how it surpasses that of other developed countries. “It’s about the opportunity cost,” he said, as he referenced the importance of investing in primary care and community-based services. 


Looking to the future with optimism

Despite the continued challenges in effectively connecting people to help, the panelists were optimistic about what the future holds. They acknowledged the ongoing modernization of our system and a slow shift in how social care services are funded. They referenced the Food as Medicine movement, payment for housing supports, and other federal and state demonstrations that invest in health-related social needs. (Watch our 10-minute documentary short about Food as Medicine, from Findhelp Films).

When asked what gives them energy to reimagine the system, the panelists agreed that there are good people, ready to do the hard work. Erine referenced a need for disruption and encouraged listeners to jump in. “Part of the goal is to inspire people to change the system,” he said. “We have an abundance of human talent,” said Professor Mini. “I am excited about connecting that human talent to people who need it.”

“American Compassion”: Partnering with The LBJ School on the Safety Net Podcast 

As part of our mission to build a better social safety net, Findhelp fosters conversations about the state of modern social care and what can be done to improve it. As we recently announced, we’re collaborating with The LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas-Austin to co-host a LIVE speaker series for the latest season of American Compassion: The Safety Net Podcast.

American Compassion: The Safety Net Podcast

Season 3 of American Compassion will kick off with four video podcast episodes – two this fall and two next spring – filmed in front of a live audience at The LBJ School’s historic Bass Lecture Hall. The series will be free and open to the public, featuring experts from academia, the public and private sectors, and practitioners who are innovating America’s social safety net.

“As an alum of The LBJ School of Public Affairs (Class of ‘04), this initiative has special meaning. LBJ always knew that the Great Society legislation wasn’t perfect. With the benefit of time, and advances in technology, we hope ideas debated here can be implemented to improve the lives of others.”

– Erine Gray, Founder & CEO of Findhelp

Season 3: Looking ahead

What will the outcome of the 2024 presidential election mean for the safety net? How can technology improve outcomes for Americans? What does the gold standard for social care look like? These are some of the questions we’ll explore in this innovative series.


Episode 1 | September 18, 2024

Titled “The Broken U.S. Safety Net”, the first episode will be filmed on Sept. 18, 2024, from noon to 1:30pm Central. The episode will take a big picture look at the modern safety — how did we get here, what’s broken, and what are the biggest challenges standing in the way of Americans who need help?

Erine Gray, Founder & CEO of Findhelp, will join a panel featuring:

Future Episodes

New episodes of American Compassion will be available on Findhelp’s YouTube channel, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts shortly after the live events. The recorded episodes will also air on KUT, Austin’s Public Radio station.



Seasons 1 & 2: Looking back at where we started

In the first two seasons of American Compassion, we dove into the history behind the safety net. From FDR’s New Deal to LBJ’s Great Society, host Rebecca McInroy spoke with prominent historians like Robert Caro, H.W. Brands, and Mark Updegrove. They explored the origins of some foundational government programs that still exist today. Rebecca will return to the series as host and moderator for season 3, bringing more than 20 years of experience in journalism and public radio.

“I’m thrilled to discuss the shaping of a robust, comprehensive safety net for the 21st century with some of the most thoughtful, innovative, energetic minds in America. From librarians, nurses, and data scientists to tech giants, policymakers, and business leaders, these are the voices that will help us imagine a future where all Americans thrive.”

– Rebecca McInroy, Executive Producer & Host

A Texas Team-up: Partnering with The LBJ School of Public Affairs

Founded in 1970, The LBJ School is America’s preeminent educational institute for training leaders and improving the quality of public service in the United States and abroad at all levels of governance and civic engagement.


The LBJ School of Public Affairs is co-hosting season 3 of "American Compassion: The Safety Net Podcast".


“As UT’s hub for policy leadership, The LBJ School has a powerful tradition of convening both the UT and greater Austin communities together for dialogue on issues of policy importance. I’m delighted that Erine Gray, one of our very own LBJ graduates, has chosen to partner with the school to bring our community important programing on social policy.” 

– JR DeShazo, Dean of The LBJ School 

Findhelp is honored to collaborate with The LBJ School of Public Affairs on this endeavor, and we look forward to welcoming their esteemed students and faculty to the conversation.

“In a world where people have become so divided about so many things, we hope to broaden our understanding and provide solutions,” Erine said. “We want people to learn something new and leave feeling good about the future.”

CMS SDoH Regulations for Hospitals are Finalized

Healthcare providers have increasing social determinants of health (SDoH) responsibilities as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) continues adding SDoH provisions in its annual rulemaking. In this week’s blog, we review what’s new for hospitals in 2025 under CMS’s Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) final rule. 

Over the past several years, CMS SDoH provisions include the addition of screening measures, increased inpatient reimbursement for patients with certain needs, and introduced payment for SDoH assessment and community navigation. Findhelp is here to help you advance your health equity strategies. Use our platform and network to ensure that discharged patients are connected to the community resources they need. 


To support our healthcare customers, Findhelp’s policy team closely monitors regulatory developments that impact your SDoH and health equity strategies. This also helps our community-based organization (CBO) network understand partnership opportunities and value propositions for the healthcare providers in their communities. Read on to learn more about the new IPPS provisions for 2025.



CMS SDoH Changes for Hospital Inpatient Settings 

CMS’s Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) rule establishes hospital inpatient payment methodology, updates quality measures, and institutes other hospital programs. The 2025 final rule includes several new provisions that will further engage hospitals in SDoH work.

Increased reimbursement for services provided to people with housing insecurity

CMS increased the severity level designation for inpatient encounters with SDoH Z codes describing housing insecurity and inadequate housing. 

In the final rule, CMS encourages hospitals to include all SDoH-related Z codes on claims so that the agency can analyze whether social conditions affect the cost of care. Understanding this impact may prompt CMS to change severity levels for other SDoH-related Z codes, if appropriate. Staff can identify and document all SDoH concerns through screening discussions, and can use Findhelp to track post-discharge referrals. This creates safe and effective care transitions and can prevent readmissions penalties. 


Age-Friendly Hospital measure added to quality reporting 

CMS added an Age-Friendly Hospital structural measure to the hospital inpatient quality reporting (IQR). This means that hospitals will need to attest to having certain infrastructure and processes to meet the goals of the measure. 

Hospitals must begin reporting on this structural measure in calendar year 2025, which will impact fiscal year 2027 payments. Hospitals using Findhelp can easily attest to meeting this measure with embedded screening questions, tailored referrals, and a Trusted Network of CBO partners that is configured to meet the needs of older adults.


Mandatory payment model to incentivize quality improvement and care coordination

CMS finalized the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), a five-year, mandatory payment model for hospitals in 188 geographic areas. The model begins in January 2026. 

CMS estimates that TEAM will save the Medicare program approximately $481M over five years. Participating hospitals can leverage Findhelp for social needs requirements and subsequent referrals. 


SDoH items on long-term care hospital standardized patient assessment

CMS finalized the addition of SDoH questions on the standardized patient assessment required in Long Term Care Hospitals (LTCHs).

While CMS SDoH provisions fall short of requiring referrals for identified needs, the agency recommends referral pathways. Integrate Findhelp’s screening and referral processes into your LTCH EHRs to support simple workflows for closed-loop referrals. 



CBOs Can Work with Hospitals to Offer SDoH Services

CBOs are essential partners, and well positioned to offer valuable services to hospitals that are required to identify and address patient social needs. As hospitals increasingly screen for SDoH, they’re identifying more needs and hospital staff often don’t know where to send patients for help. CBOs can build awareness of their services by: 



Partner With Us to Meet your Regulatory Requirements

Regulatory changes and requirements can become overwhelming, but Findhelp makes SDoH screening and referral workflows easy for customers.

Social Care Networks Announced Under New York’s HRSN Waiver

New York State has announced its 9 Social Care Networks (SCNs), new entities tasked with managing social care delivery for people with Medicaid under the state’s Section 1115 health-related social needs (HRSN) waiver demonstration. Findhelp is proud to partner with several New York SCNs, providing interoperable and integrated technology that will fundamentally change HRSN service delivery in New York. 

The SCNs will be a major part of the state’s HRSN service delivery infrastructure, implementing screening and navigation for the state’s Medicaid population, building CBO networks to deliver approved services, and paying their contracted partners for services. 




About New York’s 1115 HRSN waiver

New York’s waiver, New York Health Equity Reform (NYHER), authorizes up to $3.16 billion for HRSN services and $500 million for HRSN infrastructure. The SCNs and Findhelp will be integral to the state’s infrastructure that is intended to integrate health and social care, and most closely knit the social safety net. 

The HRSN demonstration requires the SCNs to: 

  • Contract with the state’s Medicaid managed care plans to receive per-member, per month payments for social needs screening and delivery of approved services
  • Contract with a network of CBOs that provide waiver-approved services to eligible individuals in the domains of housing supports, food and nutrition supports, utility assistance, transportation assistance, and enhanced care management
  • Coordinate HRSN screening and service delivery using a referral and closed-loop referral platform
  • Pay contracted CBOs for delivering approved services
  • Report on progress and performance metrics throughout the waiver period
Findhelp's New York network by the Numbers - New York's 1115 HRSN waiver

NYHER places a particular emphasis on HRSN screening for Medicaid members and coordinated service delivery. As such, interoperability is a cornerstone of this work. On behalf of our SCN partners, we will establish direct connectivity with New York’s health information exchange infrastructure and data warehouse  to provide screening, referral, and service data for people who have consented to sharing. All data will be transmitted using HRSN data standards, enabling timely data exchange, reporting, and analysis. 

“We are honored to have a role in New York’s transformational waiver program, and we applaud Governor Hochul, the New York State Department of Health, and the New York State Medicaid program for this investment. Findhelp is excited  to move forward with our SCN partners and the CBOs in their networks to launch new models of social care that will improve the lives of New Yorkers with Medicaid.”

Carla Nelson
Sr. Director of Healthcare & Public Policy at Findhelp

Proud to partner with SOMOS Community Care, SCN for the Bronx

SOMOS Community Care is a network of over 2,600 culturally competent healthcare professionals who provide care to over 1 million patients in New York’s underserved neighborhoods—particularly Asian, African-American and Latino communities. Their network comprises primary care physicians, specialists, behavioral health providers, pharmacies, community-based organizations.

Their providers establish genuine relationships with their patients, getting to know their family circumstances, along with the social and environmental factors that impact their health. In a great many cases, SOMOS doctors work and live in the same neighborhoods as their patients, often sharing their linguistic and ethnic background. 

As the designated SCN covering the Bronx for New York’s 1115 HRSN waiver, SOMOS will partner with Findhelp to further empower their CBO partners, create additional capacity around social needs screening, and deliver the state’s enhanced HRSN services to eligible populations. 

SOMOS is excited to partner with Findhelp in this historic program to help New York’s most vulnerable populations.  We have decades of experience working in underserved communities in a person-centered manner.  This has allowed us to identify the barriers to wellbeing and inequitable situations our communities experience.  We have for years strived to bring greater access to care and services, but our reach has been limited.  This program, and working closely with Findhelp, will allow us to increase our reach, scale our efforts and more efficiently deliver care and services to those in need.

Lidia Virgil
Chief Operation Officer, SOMOS

Findhelp has been partnering with New York-serving organizations since 2015. We work with customers across the City, including many that provide services to the Bronx: Montefiore, the Institute for Family Health, Union Community Health Center, United Way of New York City, Mount Sinai, and more. 

Over the past two years, the number of searches made by Bronx residents on the Findhelp platform has almost tripled, showing a growing need for community resources. Top needs in the Bronx are related to food and housing, with diapers & formula also high on the list.

Findhelp Acquires Kiip

We’re proud to announce Findhelp’s acquisition of Kiip, a pioneering New York-based startup known for its innovative approach to reducing administrative burdens for at-risk populations and service providers. 

Findhelp acquires Kiip

Founded in 2021, Kiip has helped a range of community-based organizations (CBOs) improve how they deliver services to populations in need. They use a human-centered approach that gives individuals free storage for their most vital documents, plus transparency into their applications for services and benefits. 

Findhelp’s acquisition of Kiip will further enable our existing technology by integrating their two-sided platform. Kiip was built specifically for CBOs to simplify and streamline their workflows and interactions with those seeking services. Like Findhelp, they also provide a free set of tools for those seeking help.  

“At Findhelp, our goal has always been to simplify the complicated process of getting help. We have built the nation’s largest and most active network of programs, serving  leading health systems, state, local governments, and community-based organizations throughout the country. The Kiip team understands how important a good user experience is in the social sector, and have built innovative technology that complements Findhelp’s mission and product suite. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Noah and the team and I know they’ll be a valuable part of our future.”

Erine Gray, Founder and CEO of Findhelp

Together, we’ll provide a powerful end-to-end approach to social care solutions. Findhelp’s acquisition of Kiip marks a significant step forward in helping individuals seamlessly access critical benefits. 

Findhelp's acquisition of Kiip

Findhelp’s Acquisition of Kiip: Reducing Administrative Burden for Social Service Providers

A critical pain point throughout the social care ecosystem is the friction people face in discovering and applying for benefits and services. It’s a struggle to find and retain the personal documents needed to apply for and maintain those benefits and services. This leads to increased application failure rates, churn, and work for CBOs and their staff.

Findhelp’s acquisition of Kiip eliminates these pain points for CBOs and provides strategic alignment that leverages technology to improve lives.

Findhelp's acquisition of Kiip will enhance their existing technology for CBOs.

“Joining forces with Findhelp represents an exciting opportunity to scale our combined impact. By integrating Kiip’s technology with Findhelp’s platform, we can transform how organizations deliver social care services, streamline their processes, and improve their success rates in getting people the help they need, while significantly improving how individuals access and engage with essential social care services.”

Noah Harlan, Founder and CEO of Kiip

The acquisition will strengthen our position as a leader in social care software. By combining Kiip’s expertise in the experience of individuals seeking help with Findhelp’s robust platform and extensive network of programs, we’re building a better social safety net.

Findhelp’s History of Support for CBOs

Organizations like United Way, libraries, disaster relief organizations, medical associations, and many other nonprofits serve as the foundation of support for their communities. We make it easy for local, regional, and national organizations to connect people to services and follow up quickly. 

Findhelp has been such a valuable tool for our organization. We’ve used it to directly support residents in need of food and other social services and connect organizations and community leaders looking to serve new clients. The pandemic really underscored the need for a more coordinated and connected social service network – the tools and resources available from Findhelp have been essential to helping our community navigate the complex web of government and non-profit resources. By connecting our community through this referral network, we’re facilitating more effective and scalable approaches to social services and community care.

Additional APIs in Action: How Customers Use Findhelp’s Data to Power Their Platforms

WorkMoney helps consumers save money on everyday bills and expenses. They bring together experts and smart policy thinkers to do what’s right for low-income Americans. Their mission is to help make sure everyone who works hard gets ahead.

The Challenge

Over the last 40 years, if incomes had kept up with profits, individual salaries would be twice as high as they are. Families are working harder than ever, but still falling behind.

The Solution

WorkMoney became a Findhelp customer in March 2022 to integrate Findhelp’s APIs to populate local, state, and national resources into their platform. Their platform connects users with discounted services like car insurance, travel, and dining. Through the integration, these services are shown alongside local community resources, populated from Findhelp’s nationwide network. This partnership supports WorkMoney’s 5 million members – budget-minded consumers – so they can earn more and pay less.

Kumanu has built Purposeful, the first purpose-inspired wellbeing platform for business to support the social and mental health needs of their employees. Purposeful combines consumer-grade design, advanced AI, and the latest science to cultivate authentic engagement and support whole person wellbeing.

The Challenge

When your staff are focused on meeting their basic needs or are struggling with mental health challenges, it’s difficult for them to focus on their job functions. Purposeful quantifies the prevalence of unrecognized employee social risk factors in a confidential and stigma-free experience. 

The Solution

Kumanu became a Findhelp customer in 2021 to integrate Findhelp’s APIs and nationwide network into their Purposeful application. This allows them to provide employees with wellbeing resources to fill critical gaps unmet by traditional employee-based solutions. The integration powers a customized resource hub that simplifies the route to resources. Employees can see Findhelp programs along with other available 1-1 consultation and benefits packages.

Kumanu’s application integrates Findhelp’s nationwide network of community resources.

Partnering to Support Pennsylvania and Give CBOs a Seat at the Table

We are very proud to announce our partnership with the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania (CAAP) to lead community engagement efforts in support of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services’ project to build a statewide online tool called PA Navigate. We’re partnering to support Pennsylvania.

Findhelp, CAAP, and CAAP member agencies are conducting outreach to local CBOs and onboard them to the PA Navigate platform.

CAAP will host local and regional listening sessions to ensure that CBOs are equal members of this collaborative effort to improve health outcomes for Pennsylvanians by addressing the social determinants of health (SDoH). 

Press release link

PA Navigate: a Platform for All Pennsylvanians

Built on the Findhelp closed-loop referral platform and network, PA Navigate (powered by Findhelp) is a statewide community information network, designed to address health and social care needs for Pennsylvanians by connecting them to community services.

In addition to Pennsylvanians using the platform to find help for themselves and their families, social service agencies, local nonprofits, community-based organizations, county and state agencies, and healthcare providers can also help make connections to services on behalf of individuals and track referral outcomes to ensure that people’s needs are met.

Partnering to Support Pennsylvania

Findhelp has partnered with the HIE Consortium members (Central PA Connect, ClinicalConnect HIE, HealthShare Exchange, and Keystone Health Information Exchange) to build and support PA Navigate. Consortium members will use the platform to assess the SDoH needs of Pennsylvanians and refer them to providers, with dignity and ease. 

“We have built a strong relationship of trust with Pennsylvanians and are excited to work with our new partners to help more residents in need,” said Findhelp Founder and CEO Erine Gray. “Every member of the Consortium cares deeply about the people of the Commonwealth.”

Protecting Privacy

A key benefit of the PA Navigate platform (powered by Findhelp) will be its ability to allow healthcare providers to see the most complete view of an individual’s social care history and current status – to ensure Pennsylvanians are getting the help they need in the most efficient manner possible – while guarding their privacy and ensuring unrivaled protection of their personal information.

The Impact of Community Action Agencies

The federal Office of Community Services (part of the Administration for Children & Families, under the Health and Human Services Department) is celebrating May as Community Action Month in honor of 60 years of Community Action Agency (CAA) successes in reducing poverty, revitalizing communities, and empowering individuals and families. Read on to learn more about CAAs, their funding, and impact.

Community Services Block Grants

The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) program, founded in 1964, combats the causes and consequences of poverty through Community Action. On average, CSBG serves more than 9 million individuals every year, in 99% of counties across the country.


Supporting CAAs: the Community Action Association of Pennsylvania

The Community Action Association of Pennsylvania (CAAP) is the authority on addressing poverty in Pennsylvania and a statewide membership organization that represents CAAs in the Commonwealth. 

Findhelp and Community Action Association of Pennsylvania are partnering to support Pennsylvania.

Partnering for Success in Pennsylvania 

More than 1.5 million Pennsylvanians have already used Findhelp to connect with social care services. As of May 2024, we partner with 35 customers to connect their patients, members, students, constituents, and clients to resources. The PA Navigate initiative will bring an additional 100 participating provider entities to the Findhelp Pennsylvania Network.

Next Steps for PA Navigate & Pennsylvania

On January 23, 2024, PA Navigate introduced their public-facing website, pa-navigate.org, the first step in a multi-year project. Not only can individuals find help for themselves via the platform, but local nonprofits, healthcare organizations, state and county agencies, and community-based organizations can refer individuals. These agencies can also track the outcomes of these referrals to ensure individuals’ needs have been met.
