OUTCOMES:
Through a partnership with POCAAN the Mobile Integrated Community Health program has become an increasingly valuable resource to assist residents throughout the region. The collaborative approach between the two entities allows for a community-specific process that includes multiple levels of public and private stakeholders working together to provide more effective long-term solutions for individuals. POCAAN provides increased understanding of tri-county community health fidelity and access to resources that were not previously available to support housing insecurity, mental health crisis, addiction, wound care, and aging disabilities, etc. This relationship ultimately provides for individuals within the community to become more successfully independent and less reliant on public safety emergency services.
