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.

  • Integrated Social Services Model
    methodology: integrated_social_services
    By embedding social services such as food security and vision care within healthcare delivery, we improve health outcomes because addressing social determinants reduces barriers to health and increases engagement with medical care.
  • Medical-Legal Partnership
    methodology: medical-legal_partnership
    By integrating legal services into healthcare settings, we improve health outcomes because legal interventions can resolve underlying social determinants such as housing instability or insurance access that directly impact health.
