About WNY IPA Changes in the health care environment both locally and state-wide prompted our organization's member facilities to strategically partner to share best practices and create efficiencies that are beneficial to providers, residents, patients and third party payors. IPA member facilities have provided services to our Western NY community for more than a century. Our organizations provide a broad continuum of health care services including: home health care, respite care, retirement living, medical adult day care, assisted living, subacute and outpatient rehabilitation, 24-hour skilled nursing care, memory care, hospice/palliative care services and health care management.

We are actively involved the DISRIP (delivery system reform incentive payment) programs to improve health care throughout the Western NY region. |
