Community Health Through THRIVE
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
Provide an overview of the progress and recent developments in our Community Health Program.
At the direction of the City Council, the Community Health Program has made significant strides in its structure and operations, including increased coordination and co-location of the teams that support a holistic approach to address various health needs within our community. Through a comprehensive approach, we have seen positive trends in data collection capabilities related to human services outreach, mobile integrated health services, and the forthcoming implementation of MHP co-response teams.
One of the key updates to discuss is the recent expansion of the Community Health program through the addition of three Community Care Coordinators. These coordinators add support for the THRIVE teams and bring specialized expertise in community housing, physical health, and mental health that is enhancing the program's ability to provide tailored and integrated care services that will support long term independence.
This strategic expansion aligns with the program's overarching goals of ensuring comprehensive and holistic community health services. It signifies the City of Redmond's commitment to meeting the diverse and evolving needs of our residents in a structured and effective manner.
