For those who qualify, Health Homes of Upstate NewYork (HHUNY) provides personalized case management support to find resources to address their healthcare and other needs.
HHUNY is overseen by the New York Care Coordination Program (NYCCP) and is led across 22 counties by four affiliate health home organizations (Chautauqua County Department of Mental Health, Huther Doyle, Lake Shore Behavioral Health and Onondaga Case Management Services). The resources are implemented by case workers from these numerous case management organizations.
Given their busy schedules and multitude of other distracting statewide and local initiatives (EMR roll-outs, DSRIP, reimbursement challenges, etc.) grabbing the attention of physicians was our last barrier to success.
To discuss these challenges and confirm alignment of HHUNY’s objectives, priorities and messages, Tipping Point led a half-day workshop with 25 organizational leaders. The effort enabled HHUNY leadership, affiliates and partners to have a voice in communications planning.
Our experience with targeted urban and suburban/rural publications, tied with our strong relationships with editorial staff in major Upstate New York markets helped develop an aggressive media relations campaign that:
• increased earned media coverage of HHUNY
• helped increase awareness and understanding of the available, free services among qualified consumers and referring professionals
This media relations campaign helped push the comprehensive suite of marketing communications materials developed for HHUNY:
• consumer brochure
• infographics
• in-depth but easy-to-use Provider Toolkit
