SOMOS Community Care

SOMOS Community Care SOMOS Community Care is a network of community providers improving health care for New Yorkers under (NSLIJ).

Advocate Community Providers (ACP) unites 2,000 individual, independent physicians with 950 hospital partners and community-based organizations dedicated to health, wellness and social services in lower-income, underserved Hispanic, Asian and African-American communities throughout New York City. Representing 644,000 patients across four boroughs of New York City, ACP was created in partnership with North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, Inc. ACP’s mission is to convene safety-net providers, partners and other stakeholders to create a culturally competent, patient-centered, comprehensive and coordinated service care model to meet the needs of individuals and families participating in Medicaid. ACP is one of 25 Performing Provider Systems (PPS) in New York’s Delivery Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program to transform the State’s Medicaid system. DSRIP’s goals include reducing avoidable hospitalizations and ensuring that patients and their families with Medicaid switch to a community-based care system that emphasizes preventative care over reliance on the emergency room.

During the fall season, certain factors can increase the risk of pneumonia for some individuals..🫁

Here's a quick reminder on how to protect your lungs:
💉 Get the Flu Shot
🙌🏽 Practice good hand hygiene
🥦Maintain a healthy lifestyle
😷Avoid close contact with sick individuals
💨Reduce exposure to allergens

Certain groups, like the young, elderly, and those with preexisting conditions, are more vulnerable. Let's prioritize our lung health this fall. 🍂

A group of SOMOS volunteers made an inspiring effort in Bethany, Upstate New York, to help restore the local ecosystem affected by a mugwort infestation, an invasive species that has been displacing native plants and causing the decline of insects vital to the food chain. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the Bethany community, together with the valuable support of SOMOS volunteers, significant progress was made in removing invasive species and restoring native vegetation, helping to protect biodiversity and promote the region’s ecological balance.

Movember is a global movement raising awareness and funds for men’s health: mental well-being, su***de prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Here’s how it works: Grow a mustache. Start conversations. Raise funds. Participants create a personal fundraising page, share their journey, and invite others to support their cause. Every whisker helps fund life-saving research and support programs.🧔

Not into growing facial hair? You can still move, host, or donate to make a difference.

SOMOS Social Care Network is on the ground across the Bronx this week, hosting community events to assist families affected by the loss of SNAP benefits during the federal shutdown.

Each day, SOMOS teams are distributing food, connecting residents with pantry access and essential resources, and offering on-site assistance to those most in need. These efforts are helping thousands of Bronx families navigate growing food insecurity with dignity and support.

Together, we’re ensuring that no family in our community is left behind.

Yesterday, New York’s streets pulsed with even more energy than usual while the New York City Marathon took place. With over 50,000 runners crossing the finish line, it was a celebration of endurance, community, and the power of movement.

Running is a lifelong gift to your heart, mind, and body. Whether you jog around the block or train for 26.2 miles, every step counts toward better health.

Why not start today? Lace up, take that first stride, and who knows—maybe we’ll see you at the starting line next year.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the key ligaments in your knee, keeping it stable and allowing you to twist, pivot, and jump safely. When it tears, often during sports or sudden movements, your knee can feel unstable and painful.

Surgery can reconstruct the ligament and restore knee stability. Recovery isn’t just about the procedure, it’s about rehab and physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the knee, regaining mobility and balance, and last but not least: preventing re-injury.

With surgery and dedication to rehab, you can get back to doing what you love safely and confidently! ⚡
