Healthy York Network

Family First Health is a participant in the Healthy York Network.  Healthy York Network is a group of health care providers and social service agencies working to improve access to health care by offering care and medications at a discounted rate and by connecting patients with medical coverage for which they may be eligible.  HYN is not health insurance.  Membership is based on financial eligibility.  There may be some geographic restrictions, also.

Other member organizations of HYN include WellSpan Health, Memorial Hospital, the York City Bureau of Health, York Spanish American Center, and the Community Progress Council.  HYN is funded by a grant from Health Resource Services Administration.
