Healthfirst is a not-for-profit health insurer in the New York health care landscape, focused on enabling access to quality care for residents. It serves nearly two million members across New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Rockland, Sullivan, and Orange counties, offering plans that cover different life stages, including Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, Child Health Plus, Essential Plans, Long-Term Care, and Qualified Health Plans. Founded more than 30 years ago by leading downstate hospital systems, Healthfirst built a network partnership model that aligns hospitals, health systems, and physicians around patient outcomes and community needs rather than profits. In January 2026, Healthfirst expanded its pediatric community health worker model through collaborations with NYC Health + Hospitals, Montefiore Orthopedics, NYC REACH, and Boston Medical Center's TEAM UP Scaling and Sustainability Center. The organization is based in New York City and maintains a large workforce to serve its member and community health objectives.
