Affinity Health Plan

Affinity is an independent, not-for-profit organization founded in 1986 with one goal: to offer affordable, high quality health care coverage to underserved New Yorkers. As the first health plan licensed in New York State to serve publicly-sponsored populations, Affinity’s vision and leadership resulted in many more people receiving the vital care they need. Over the last 30 years, we’ve grown from just a handful of members to over 250,000.
