The Public Health Institute (PHI) is a national independent non-profit that advances the health and wellbeing of all people and communities, particularly those facing the greatest barriers. Rooted in 60 years of public health experience, PHI works with public, private, non-profit and philanthropic organizations to strengthen the public health ecosystem. Our partners choose PHI for our deep experience in practice, policy, research, community engagement and our proven ability to turn ideas into actions that improve conditions for communities to be healthy and thrive. PHI is home to more than 40 public health programs, providing comprehensive operational infrastructure that enables them to launch, scale and achieve impact more effectively than they can alone. Together, we are addressing some of the most pressing challenges in health with solutions that are grounded in science and co-created with communities. PHI supports the full continuum of public health—from evidence to impact. We generate and apply rigorous data and evidence to shape prevention strategies, run programs in real-world settings, forge partnerships to scale what works and build lasting capacity by equipping the workforce with the tools and training to sustain health improvements.

The nonprofit Urban Institute is dedicated to elevating the debate on social and economic policy. For nearly five decades, Urban scholars have conducted research and offered evidence-based solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities across a rapidly urbanizing world. Their objective research helps expand opportunities for all, reduce hardship among the most vulnerable, and strengthen the effectiveness of the public sector.

Amida Care is a private, not-for‐profit health plan providing coverage and coordinated care to New York City Medicaid members with chronic conditions, including HIV/AIDS and behavioral health disorders. We serve Medicaid recipients who are living with HIV/AIDS or people who are homeless or of transgender experience (regardless of HIV status). People with complex health conditions need access to providers with specialized knowledge, and Amida Care offers a wide network of top health care providers. As the largest Medicaid special needs health plan (SNP) in New York State, Amida Care has improved health care quality and reduced costs by developing innovative care management programs. Amida Care is more than a health plan—we strive to create a wellness community. Our “Live Your Life” program offers free monthly member events held throughout the five boroughs of New York City, where Amida Care members and their guests learn about ways to get and stay healthy physically, mentally, and spiritually. Events offer opportunities to learn about nutrition, healthy relationships, art therapy, yoga, meditation, Latin and African dance, aromatherapy, and more. A variety of member engagement activities such as town hall meetings and a Member Advisory Council encourage members to participate in and provide feedback to their health plan to ensure that their needs are being met.
