Partnering With Providers. Powering Healthier Communities.

Elm & Oak’s IPA connects healthcare providers with a trusted network, equipping them with tools, insights, and support to serve New York’s most vulnerable populations efficiently, compassionately, and with impact.

Whether you’re caring for communities on the front lines or navigating complex health systems, you deserve a partner who’s been there, who gets it, and who’s ready to help.

Our Shared Purpose

At Elm & Oak, our mission is to transform healthcare challenges into opportunities for better community health. We blend over 55 years of experience in population health with a personal, on-the-ground understanding of underserved communities. As part of our Independent Practice Association (IPA), providers gain a partner that understands both the human and organizational aspects of delivering care.

We believe that every provider deserves a network that lifts barriers, enables better outcomes, and values your contribution—not just in metrics, but in the lives you impact.
