Need help finding resources?
At Herkimer County HealthNet, we understand that good health goes beyond doctor’s visits — it’s also about having access to the everyday resources and support you need.
Through our Social Care Network & Navigation program, we help individuals and families connect with the services that make life easier and healthier.
We can link you to food, housing, transportation, and other essential services — all at no cost to you.
- Food access and nutrition support
- Safe, stable housing
- Transportation to work, school, or medical care
- Childcare and family resources
- Utilities assistance
- Mental health and wellness services
- Community programs and benefits
How it works:
- Screening: We start with a quick, friendly conversation — in person or over the phone — to understand your needs.
- Navigation: We connect you directly to local and regional resources that can help, walking you through each step.
- Follow-Up: We check in to make sure you were able to access the services and get the support you need.
