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.
- Community-Informed and Culturally Grounded Caremethodology: community-informed careBy using deep local knowledge and cultural engagement to shape service design and delivery, we increase trust and utilization because programs resonate with community values and lived experiences, leading to more effective and sustained engagement.
- Patient-Centered Medical Home Modelmethodology: patient-centered_medical_homeBy organizing care around a primary care physician-led multidisciplinary team that provides continuous, coordinated, and comprehensive services, we improve health outcomes and patient well-being because patients become active participants in their care and experience fewer gaps in treatment.
- Whole Person Care Through Integrated Servicesmethodology: whole_person_careBy integrating clinical care with human services and community resources, we address the comprehensive needs of individuals and families because social, emotional, and environmental factors are treated as co-equal with medical needs in determining health outcomes.
