SOMOS Community Care (SOMOS), is New York’s only provider-led, nonprofit, community-based integrated health care network. It is comprised of over 2,500 network providers responsible for reaching and delivering care to over 1 Million Medicaid lives citywide. Put in context, nearly one-quarter of New York City’s Medicaid population sees a SOMOS network provider, who works almost exclusively in lower income communities of color, in which health outcomes are lower and rates of illness are higher – and where, until recently, many lacked access to preventive care and had few options for care or were skeptical of the corporate institutional options that did exist.  SOMOS was designed as an intervention to turn around years of clinical neglect, chronic lack of resources, and little engagement to bring about healthier communities. For millions, a SOMOS network provider has meant that hope has finally arrived.
