About Us

Unite Nebraska is a coordinated care network of health and social service providers. Partners in the network are connected through Unite Us‘ shared technology platform, which enables them to send and receive electronic referrals, address people’s social needs, and improve health across communities. Unite Nebraska is sponsored by CyncHealth. The Nebraska 211 Contact Center team, acting as the Coordination Center for Unite Nebraska, processes and facilitates network referrals, ensuring clients are connected to the best program to address their needs. The network is supported by a Nebraska-based Unite Us team focused on community engagement, network health and optimization, and customer success.

Organizations offering billable services will enter into a participation agreement to data-share with the health information exchange platform before joining the network. There may be a cost associated with data-sharing, but no additional charges to join Unite Nebraska.

Joining the network is at no cost for community-based organizations and many organizations that are considered part of the safety net, like community health centers, tribal clinics, and mental health centers.

Before, we would give out paper referrals and had no follow up tracking. Having this platform enables us to follow up with an agency if the client was not served and we can track how quickly the client was served, and if they did receive assistance. In this day and age with the pandemic, this platform provides more resources for clients and your organization.

Food Bank for the Heartland helps so many Nebraskans apply for SNAP benefits. Most often, it is not just SNAP they need assistance with; they often ask for utility, rent, food pantries, anything that will help them get by. I am so glad this new referral system has started. It is another way clients can make contact with an agency without having to do all the legwork themselves or retelling their story over and over again. Our neighbors are exhausted and having this referral system is one way they can get a little relief.
– Natalie Nelson, SNAP Direct Service Manager, Food Bank for the Heartland, a nonprofit organization that distributes food to 600 food pantries, schools, emergency shelters, and other nonprofit partners. Food Bank for the Heartland is the largest food bank in Nebraska and Iowa, serving 93 counties in the two-state region.

Helping people get well from addiction is the most important work we do. We were eager to join the Unite Us network to extend our services across the region. We often make referrals to outside entities – this is an important step to ensuring we’re meeting the needs of our members.
