Santa Fe, New Mexico – April 29, 2026 – Founded in 2017, Santa Fe CONNECT represents a bold, unified vision between Santa Fe County and the City of Santa Fe. Since 2019, County and City staff have collaborated with one another to establish a care coordination and navigation network that connects individuals to health care and public services through trained navigators embedded across clinics, public agencies, and community-based organizations.

CONNECT started off with 8 programs and 13 navigators who worked together to break down silos, expand community partnerships, and encourage collaboration across the county. CONNECT has transformed the care coordination network in Santa Fe into a powerhouse network of 79 organizations and 300+ navigators who are collaborating, leveraging resources, and supporting individuals via a closed loop referral platform.

A new case study of CONNECT reveals how a government-led, technology-powered approach to care coordination is delivering measurable economic and health impact for the community. Powered by Unite Us, the nation’s trusted technology partner for integrating health and community-based care, the initiative has generated more than $33 million in estimated healthcare savings and economic value for households since 2019, while building a more accountable system of care for residents.

The findings show what’s possible when public agencies replace siloed, manual processes with a unified, accountable record of care. By aligning government leadership, standardizing workflows, and investing in shared tech infrastructure, Santa Fe has transformed their model of community care with measurable impact and return on investment (ROI). Since adopting Unite Us’ closed-loop platform in 2019, Santa Fe CONNECT has:

• Generated an estimated $13.4 million in healthcare cost savings
• Produced an estimated $19.7 million in household economic value
• Saved nearly 3,300 administrative hours
• Coordinated 17,500+ referrals serving 13,000+ residents
• Increased case resolution rates from 72% to 90%

Expanding Impact: A Blueprint for Other Communities

The results point to a broader opportunity for public sector leaders, both in-state and nationwide. In Santa Fe County specifically, more than 28% of residents (one in four) rely on Medicaid. If health-related non-medical needs were fully addressed for all of Santa Fe’s Medicaid population, the community could generate as much as $45.4 million in healthcare savings, based on comparable initiatives in other states.

“Santa Fe CONNECT shows what’s possible when government decides to lead from the front,” said Taylor Justice, CEO and Co-Founder of Unite Us. “When public agencies invest in their communities, rally community partners around a common goal, and deliver the tools to deliver on it, real momentum builds. You see better outcomes, stronger families, and measurable financial returns. This isn’t just a pilot or a one-off success story, it’s a practical, scalable model that counties and states across the country can put into action.”

Santa Fe CONNECT offers a scalable blueprint for other government agencies seeking to:

• Build a unified care infrastructure
• Invest in community-based care navigation
• Leverage shared technology for accountability and transparency
• Use real-time data to drive decisions

By aligning public leadership, community partnerships, and technology, Santa Fe CONNECT and Unite Us are proving that coordinated care at scale is not only possible; it delivers a measurable return on investment.

NEW YORK, April 28, 2026 – Unite Us and Ready Computing today announced a strategic partnership designed to strengthen service provider coordination and standardized data exchange across New York State’s health and community care system. By combining Unite Us’ proven closed-loop referral and payments capabilities with Ready Computing’s interoperability expertise, the partnership delivers a standards-aligned, scalable approach to integrating health and community-based services.

The partnership is anchored in New York’s 1115 Medicaid waiver—the largest and most ambitious program of its kind in the country—where the organizations are already working together to meet complex requirements for data exchange, provider connectivity, and outcomes reporting across a large and diverse network.

“This partnership is about more than connecting systems, it is about coming together to advance the industry by creating the infrastructure that communities, providers, and states need to truly work as one and prove their impact,” said Taylor Justice, CEO of Unite Us. “What we are building with Ready Computing in New York demonstrates what that can look like at scale, serving as a blueprint for how states can modernize care coordination without disrupting the providers and communities who depend on it.”

“Interoperability is only meaningful if it works in the real world,” said Michael LaRocca, Founder and CEO of Ready Computing. “Together, we’re building a foundation that connects complex systems, aligns with national standards, and gives providers and states the reliable data exchange they need to operate and scale with confidence.”

Built for the Real World

Bringing data standardization to community care is essential to generating meaningful, comparable outcomes across the healthcare system. This partnership advances industry standards while remaining flexible enough to operate across diverse state infrastructures and varied data environments.

In New York, that approach is already in action through alignment with the Gravity Project, an industry-led initiative that both organizations support that is helping ensure that data is structured and interoperable across systems. This enables more consistent data capture, stronger reporting, and greater visibility into the impact of community-based services, including the ability to demonstrate return on investment for the state’s 1115 initiative.

“Gravity Project exists to ensure that social care data is structured, standardized, and actionable across the entire care ecosystem,” said Dr. Sarah DeSilvey, Gravity Project co-founder and Terminology Director. “The work Unite Us and Ready Computing are doing in New York is exactly what our standards are built for: translating a shared framework into real-world methods that enable consistent data capture at diverse points of service, meaningful outcomes reporting, and coordinated care at scale. This is how interoperability moves from aspiration to impact.”

Just as important, this work reduces operational complexity for frontline providers. Embedding standardized data exchange into existing workflows lowers barriers to adoption across a wide range of organizations, from large health systems to community-based providers with limited technical capacity, while reducing duplicative data entry and streamlining coordination without requiring them to overhaul how they work.

“For years, providers have worked with limited resources and fragmented systems that don’t talk to each other,” said Lori Antrade, Executive Vice President at the Health Equity Alliance of Long Island (HEALI). “Streamlining how data is shared means frontline staff can spend less time making systems work and more time caring for people. It also gives the state a clearer picture of the outcomes these services are driving.”

At the same time, state agencies gain the structured, real-time data they need to measure impact, demonstrate outcomes, and make the case for sustained investment in community care.

A Replicable Model for the Nation

By combining interoperability with real-world usability, the partnership demonstrates how states can modernize data exchange without disrupting existing provider workflows. The framework is technically rigorous, standards-aligned, and adaptable across states with varying infrastructure, policy environments, and levels of system maturity. 

“This collaboration between Unite Us and Ready Computing is going to allow seamless data sharing across ecosystems, including health care providers, CBOs, and New York State, which is key in connecting communities facing barriers to services that are essential for a healthy life,” said Lynne Olney, Chief Transformation Officer at Healthy Alliance. “Having this data readily available throughout the entire care continuum allows visibility into each step of the member journey, ensuring every member gets the right service at the right time, and helps demonstrate the value and outcomes associated with whole-person care.”

The implementation in New York shows how this approach can support large-scale statewide initiatives, enabling consistent data exchange, strengthening coordination across health and community-based organizations, and generating the insights needed to measure outcomes at scale. In doing so, it provides a practical blueprint for states advancing more integrated, interoperable systems, expanding existing Health Information Exchanges to incorporate statewide Community Information Exchange models.

“Health information exchanges create the pathways for data to move across the healthcare ecosystem,” said Todd Rogow, CHCIO, President & Chief Executive Office at Healthix. “Healthix plays that role in New York by enabling secure, trusted exchange, while the Unite Us and Ready Computing collaboration strengthens how that data is integrated and applied to advance whole person care.” 

As CMS continues to prioritize accountability for healthcare outcomes and technology spend, this model provides a clear path forward. It reflects growing federal emphasis on integrated, interoperable systems and demonstrates how public-private collaboration can translate policy into operational reality by bridging healthcare and community care while building the data infrastructure needed to sustain long-term impact.

NEW YORK – January 14, 2026 –  Unite Us, the nation’s trusted technology partner for integrating health and community-based care, released results from a new evaluation of Missouri’s Transformation of Rural Community Health (ToRCH) program. Supported by Missouri Medicaid and powered by Unite Us infrastructure, the ToRCH program demonstrates how hospital-led, community-based care coordination can improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and mitigate administrative burden to help residents thrive across rural communities.

Through ToRCH, rural hospitals serve as regional hubs that connect patients to critical community services addressing non-medical drivers of health, including food access, transportation, housing, and more. Across six participating counties, the program has already generated measurable results: 

• 99% invoice acceptance rate
• 18% increase in timely behavioral health follow-up after emergency department visits
• 19.6% increase in individuals with controlled blood pressure
• 17 minutes saved per referral

“Rural health funding gives communities the chance to stop thinking in short-term fixes and start building for the future,” said Taylor Justice, CEO and Co-Founder of Unite Us. “ToRCH shows what’s possible when underfunded communities pair ingenuity with the right infrastructure. Missouri is proving that rural communities can cut costs and reduce inefficiencies, while building sustainable capacity that delivers value across the entire system.”

A Blueprint for Scalable Rural Health Innovation

With rural health funding recently awarded via the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP), the ToRCH program offers a replicable blueprint for states committed to optimizing their rural health funding. 

The program, referenced by CMS as an example in the RHTP applications, demonstrates how rural communities can use data and technology to align incentives, leverage existing funding streams, and empower hospitals to integrate community care models in a sustainable way.

An Innovative Model for Rural Care Coordination

Since July 2024, six ToRCH hub hospitals have coordinated care for nearly 2,800 individuals through the Unite Us platform, connecting them to more than 900 community services. Sixty-six percent of referral activity was initiated directly by hub hospitals, reinforcing their role as anchors for cross-sector collaboration in rural settings.

“To hear the stories of the participants’ lives who have been impacted in a positive way—improving their health while also improving the financial health of the Missouri Medicaid program—that’s been very gratifying for my team,” said Kirk Mathews, Chief Transformation Officer at MO HealthNet.

Technology Driving Efficiency, Accountability, and Compliance

Beyond improving patient care, the ToRCH program demonstrates how centralized technology can reduce administrative complexity for providers and states alike. Survey results further underscore the model’s impact: 88% of respondents agreed that ToRCH improves overall patient care, and a majority reported reduced stress related to documentation and follow-up.
