Commitment to the Principle “Patients First”
The BPHC partners are fully committed to the principle that DSRIP is about patients, not institutional power or growth. The coalescing around SBH, a well-respected community hospital, as the lead applicant for this DSRIP demonstrates diverse organizations’ commitment to work together to create a balanced governance structure prioritizing patients and their health outcomes. Support has come from organizations including Montefiore, one of the largest and most successful academic medical centers in NYS, five FQHCs, leading long-term care and developmental disability providers, three health homes, substance abuse agencies and a diverse set of community-based organizations, including Acacia Network, RAIN, H.O.G.A.R, and Care for the Homeless.
