Health Information Tool for Empowerment (HITE)

HITE Site

The Health Information Tool for Empowerment (HITE) is an online directory of health and social services specifically for uninsured and under-insured New Yorkers. HITE allows health and social service workers to link their low-income clients with a broad array of services, including thousands of government, non-profit, and privately sponsored programs and services. Individuals who are directly seeking services can also access HITE.

HITE links to an eligibility calculator that helps uninsured individuals determine whether they are likely to be eligible for one of New York's public health insurance programs. HITE was developed by GNYHA Foundation and is made possible with funding from a number of prominent philanthropies, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and United Way of New York City.

In 2011, HITE  formed an Advisory Council, representing a range of organizations, including hospitals, community-based non-profits, and government agencies, to provide feedback to inform the development and implementation of HITE improvements and new projects, including enhanced search functionality, HITE-sponsored community events, new directory content, and much more. Feedback from members of the Advisory Council ensures that HITE remains a relevant and useful tool for Information and Referral (I&R) providers in the community and the uninsured clients they assist.
