Who We Are

The Greater Rochester Health Home Network, LLC. (GRHHN) was formed in January 2012 to establish a Health Home in order to serve the most vulnerable people in our community, especially those struggling with multiple medical and behavioral health conditions.

GRHHN was developed through a collaborative process with community providers to learn new ways to integrate with care team partners across medical, mental health, substance abuse, and community-based service sectors. Our goals are to:

  • Decrease Emergency Room and inpatient use.
  • Support access to health care services.
  • Link with community resources to provide comprehensive care.

In 2018 Finger Lakes Performing Provider System (FLPPS) acquired GRHHN. FLPPS is a partnership comprised of 19 hospitals, 6,700 healthcare providers and more than 600 healthcare and community-based organizations in a 13-county region (Allegany, Cayuga, Chemung, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Steuben, Wayne, Wyoming and Yates counties).

This partnership works together to implement innovative system transformation using the NYS Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program to reform local Medicaid healthcare delivery.
