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-Embedded Care Model
    methodology: community-embedded_care
    By embedding clinical services within and actively engaging the communities they serve, the organization improves health outcomes because trust-based relationships and localized understanding enable more effective identification and response to social and environmental determinants of health.
  • Integrated Behavioral Health Model
    methodology: behavioral_health_integration
    By co-locating mental health services within primary care settings and using a team-based approach, the organization improves access to behavioral health treatment and patient outcomes for conditions like depression and anxiety because integrated care reduces stigma, increases follow-through, and enables coordinated clinical responses.
  • Sliding Fee Scale and Insurance Enrollment Support
    methodology: sliding_fee_scale
    By applying a sliding fee scale and providing direct assistance with insurance enrollment, the organization increases access to care for underserved and low-income populations because reducing financial and administrative barriers enables more consistent utilization of health services.
