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.

Heart valve disease affects millions of people worldwide, and yet many don’t even realize they have it.🫀

The heart has four valves that regulate blood flow, and when one or more don’t work properly, it can lead to fatigue, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, or swelling, common symptoms that can easily be mistaken, and often they are for aging or stress.

Because the signs can be subtle, heart valve disease often goes undiagnosed until it becomes more serious. Regular check-ups, awareness of your heart health, and listening to your body are key to catching it early and protecting long-term well-being.

SOMOS Community Care’s Chief Operating Officer Lidia Virgil recently joined Univision National to discuss the growing concern over new SNAP work requirements that could put thousands of families across the tri-state area at risk of losing critical food assistance. Under the new federal rules, many adults must now document at least 80 hours of work, training, or volunteering each month to remain eligible for benefits.

Did you know that your body has an internal clock called the circadian rhythm, and it affects sleep, energy, digestion, mood, and even hormone levels? ⏰

This 24-hour cycle is influenced by light exposure, meal times, and daily routines, helping your body know when to wake, rest, or repair itself. When your rhythm is off, due to irregular sleep, late-night screens, or shift work, it can lead to fatigue, trouble focusing, or mood changes.

Supporting your circadian rhythm is simple: get morning sunlight, maintain consistent sleep schedules, and limit bright screens at night. Listening to your body’s natural timing is a small change that can make a big difference.
