I think this is a great idea for local governments. I do interim and as-needed municipal administration and wish the local governments I work with would invest in this. Too often I do not realize some of the issues/challenges of a local government until we are knee-deep in policy or budget development and we discover some issues with policy, budget, HR, and process issues, to name a few. This is especially true of local governments with few or no full-time staff where oftentimes operations, processes, and HR is left to the elected officials who sometimes apply a private sector lens to the public sector.

Community care hubs are emerging as an important model for coordinating services between clinical and social care to better address the complex health related social needs that influence health outcomes. In my blog post, I highlight some of the ways this model can help communities improve care and steps our federal partners are taking to strengthen community capacity to implement these models.
Community Care Hubs are an important solution to address the complex factors that influence health outcomes — and they’re gaining momentum across the country. Read our new blog post from Senior Director of Community Health Tracy Carver to learn about the incredible impact CCHs can have on disproportionately affected communities. https://lnkd.in/gCjbNQEM #CommunityCareHub #HealthEquity

In this "Ask and Answer" session, a health center wanted to know if they could use grant funding to purchase a van for health services and other community health outreach efforts. The vehicle would travel to hard-to-reach communities, such as areas that are very rural, more than 30 miles from the health center, and to districts with lower primary care use. Could they get a grant for this purpose? Find out our answer and next steps at https://lnkd.in/eNShNFCx. And then please let me know what you think in the comments
