The NYS Health Foundation, which resulted from the for-profit conversion of NYC-based Empire Blue Cross, is one of the nation’s largest health care conversion foundations – with $250 million in assets at startup. The foundation asked CGR to summarize the state of the health of New Yorkers by researching and charting key health indicators. CGR developed information on a wide range of topics, from health care access (by age, income, education, gender and race) to information on specific diseases. The information is provided in a series of charts and maps on the NYS Health Foundation website. Information is provided by county and, for some NYC indicators, by borough. The indicators project is one of 3 major projects CGR has conducted for the foundation.
