Meeting Your Needs

We connect...

The Health Reform Coalition connects health and social workers with clergy and educators in ways that leverage trusted relationships to influence and reinforce their beneficial role in the lives of the people they serve.  By breathing new life into community-powered influence networks, the HRC will create and nurture enduring relationships between stakeholders across the entire public health value stream.

Simply put, we enable faith and community-based organizations to expand their outreach programs until they serve the health informational needs of their members with ease.  By augmenting existing health ministries and self-empowerment programs, the HRC will improve the impact and reach of effective health interventions by sharing evidence-based "solutions" that the target audience can understand, identify with and be motivated to take act upon.

We improve...

HRC member organizations will improve the community's health status by helping residents become more responsible healthcare consumers.  Expected outcomes include a reduction in the number of patients using the ER for primary care - and an increase in the appropriate use of primary care providers and community health centers, where care is often more timely, appropriate, safe and cost-effective.

Typically, community health centers and free clinics have been a means for providing local healthcare delivery. Quite naturally, their primary focus has been on immediate treatment demands. This has left minimal resources for patient education and prevention practices. This problem will be solved by the HRC, which provides personalized patient health information, and coordinates health interventions and clinical treatment services closer to home.

We provide...

The HRC and its partners will provide an intelligent glue that connects the Medical Home with the people they're trying to reach through local and trusted non-profit organizations who have joined with the HRC to make a positive difference in the communities they serve.  Through a series of low cost, high impact community-enabling solutions, we will offer a low cost prescription plan to restore the health of our nation, one life, one family, one community and one state at a time - while serving the common good.

Established community organizations already have the relationships, credibility and information systems in place which can be leveraged now to assist patients in making informed decisions, avoiding mistakes and better complying with self-care and preventive measures.

These organizations can be provided with real-time collaborative tools and low cost information services that enable qualified community organizations to provide their participating communities with a much better understanding (on a peer basis) of what is needed to be done to personally bring about a positive treatment result, while serving as the sustaining base for longer term personal behavior change.
