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 Health Worker-Led Social Determinants Screening
    methodology: social-determinants-screening
    By deploying community health workers to identify and address social determinants of health during patient navigation, improves care outcomes because trusted local intermediaries can bridge clinical and community systems more effectively.
  • Cross-Sector Collaboration for Systemic Efficiency
    methodology: multi-sector partnership model
    By building partnerships across healthcare, government, education, and community organizations, improves program innovation and efficiency because coordinated systems reduce duplication and expand reach.
  • Food-Is-Medicine Integration
    methodology: food-is-medicine
    By integrating locally grown food into health interventions through produce prescriptions, improves health outcomes because nutrition is treated as a clinical determinant and leverages local agriculture to address food insecurity.
  • Person-Centered Aging-in-Place Support
    methodology: aging-in-place
    By providing individualized care planning and localized service coordination through NORC models, supports older adults in remaining in their communities because tailored, community-based services improve independence and quality of life.
  • Transportation Access as Health Care Access
    methodology: integrated-transportation-support
