How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Collaborative Network Model for Integrated Service Delivery
    methodology: integrated-service-delivery
    By building integrated, coordinated service delivery systems across local providers, we improve access and reduce duplication—especially for underserved populations—because shared infrastructure and aligned goals enable more efficient and equitable resource use.
  • Food-Is-Medicine Integration
    methodology: food_is_medicine
    By integrating produce prescriptions into health support services, we improve health outcomes for individuals with diet-sensitive chronic diseases, because access to fresh, nutritious food is treated as a clinical intervention within a broader healthcare strategy.
  • Peer-Led Self-Management Education
    methodology: self-management_education
    By empowering individuals through peer-led education, we build self-efficacy and improve chronic disease management, because shared lived experience increases engagement and trust in health interventions.
