The Rural Health Network of South Central New York (RHNSCNY) believes that all rural residents should have access to adequate and affordable health care. Staff members at RHNSCNY work with health and human service providers throughout the three-county service area and have an extensive knowledge of available services. Additionally, RHNSCNY improves access to health care for rural residents through the following programs: New York State Health Insurance Assistance RHNSCNY provides access to facilitated enrollment services out of our office in Whitney Point, NY. *Eligibility requirements have changed in the last few years, so even if you were not eligible in the past, you may be now. If you would like to find out if you may be eligible, or if you need assistance in applying to New York State-sponsored health insurance programs, such as Medicaid, Family Health Plus, and Child Health Plus, please contact our Health Care Access Associate at (607) 692-7669 or toll-free at (888) 603-5973.*Income limits are higher for children under 18 than they are for adults, so your child may qualify for "free" or "low-cost" coverage, even if you don't. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) - Formerly known as Food Stamps RHNSCNY provides access to SNAP assistance from our office in Whitney Point. The Family Enrichment Network staff can meet with you in our office and assist you in applying for SNAP. *This program can help you buy nutritious food.

Renew Health  Prescription Assistance Program Each year, the Prescription Assistance Program serves hundreds of uninsured and under-insured residents who require prescription medication to manage chronic health conditions.
