Community Care Cooperative (C3)

Our Quality, Practice Transformation, and Primary Care Innovation teams had a delightful time earlier connecting with their quality lead colleagues from our Federally Qualified Health Center partners at an Advanced QI tool training gathering at the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers' training facility in Worcester, MA. Thank you, Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC), for leading this robust discussion! If you are reading this and attended the session, what were some of your key takeaways from the session? Share them with us in the comments section, we would love to hear from you! #Training #PrimaryCareImprovement #HealthcareInnovation #MedicalTraining #PracticeTransformation

We are excited to announce that Annie Pham, MHSA and Kim Prendergast will be part of two presentations at "The Rise Summit on the Social Determinants of Health" April 7th-9th in Louisville, KY! In the first presentation, Annie will talk about the "Social Health Hub" model C3 has built with its community partners to deliver #foodismedicine and housing interventions to patients throughout our health centers. She will be joined by Camden Coalition's Mark Humowiecki and Sarah Stacy from Uncommon Solutions, to discuss what a national approach to this work would look like, and how community care hubs can support Medicaid Section 1115 initiatives. The trio will also compare our model in Massachusetts with what is being done in Washington state. The second presentation will feature Annie and Kim joined by Jennifer Obadia from Project Bread and delve into the organizations' five-year partnership, that has built a robust program that delivers medically-tailored nutrition services to individuals experiencing diet sensitive and chronic conditions. If you are attending, please reach out to Annie and Kim and say hello! https://lnkd.in/euawT6yQ #RiseSummit2025 #SDoH #SocialDeterminantsofHealth
