JOB PURPOSE
Advance Care Alliance of NY, Inc. (ACA) is a New York not-for-profit corporation that represents over 100
not-for-profit providers that have a long history of serving individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities (I/DD) throughout New York City, Long Island, and the lower Hudson Valley. It was established in 2014 with the mission of improving services and medical care for individuals with I/DD and engaging in
meaningful participation in reforming the OPWDD service sector. Since its inception, ACA has received
almost $8 million in funding from New York State through two separate Balancing Incentive Program (BIP)
grants to develop and operate a new and innovative urgent care program for individuals with I/DD, as well as implement various initiatives to support the move towards managed care for the I/DD population.
