Three organizations in New York's Hudson Valley united by three ideas:

  • Health care should be patient-centered, coordinated and accessible
  • Financial models used to pay for health care should result in lower cost and increased quality
  • Health information technology should be used as a tool to improve patient care and community health
Together, these three organizations are committed to realizing revolutionary health care transformation.

The Hudson Valley Initiative has already achieved national leadership in electronic health record (EHR)  implementation, health information

exchange (HIE) and in transforming physician office practices into medical homes.

Six years of experience with health information exchange (HIE).


Medical home recognition of 237 providers.
