G-Health Enterprises 2017 Annual Report.

Welcome to G-Health Enterprises
. . .
Every day our hearts and minds are touched by what we see unfolding at G-Health Enterprises. When we unlocked
the doors to our new facility, we unlocked our dream to establish a state-of-the-art medical facility conveniently
located for our primary client base. Our G-Health facility is a bricks and mortar representation of our
GBUAHN mission – “To transform health care by removing barriers created by social determinants of health in
underserved communities.”
The year 2017 was one of immense growth for our organizations. We revealed the name G-Health Enterprises
to encompass all of our progressive health care affiliates: the Greater Buffalo United Accountable Healthcare
Network (GBUAHN), the Greater Buffalo United Accountable Care Organization (GBUACO) and the Greater
Buffalo United Independent Physicians Association (GBUIPA). We saw GBUAHN reach a membership of more
than 7,500 members and become the sixth largest health home in New York state. GBUACO successfully completed
its first full year in operation and in co-operation with YourCare Health Plan. The National Committee
for Quality Assurance (NCQA) recognized GBUAHN as accredited in case management, making GBUAHN the
first and only health home in New York state to achieve such recognition. NCQA also presented GBUACO with
level two accreditation as an accountable care organization (ACO). GBUACO is one of only ten ACOs in the
U.S. to receive this distinction.
The numbers show that G-Health Enterprises significantly reduced the number of hospital readmissions and
emergency room visits among its members. These statistics represent just the tip of the iceberg for the barriers
to quality health care that the affiliates of G-Health Enterprises are knocking down.
We thank everyone who helped make 2017 a huge success for G-Health Enterprises. You, as leaders in health
care, human services, business and government, along with the citizens of Buffalo and Western New York, have
helped us unlock the dream of better health care for underserved populations. Your support is the key that will
open more doors for us in the future.
