Collaborating to Solve Community Problems

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

Coordinated Collaborative Care (C3), a new Fayette organization that leverages the efforts of local groups providing medicine and social services to the low- income uninsured, is up and running.  Participating are FCC (medical and dental services for the working poor and uninsured), All Medical Resource Foundation (patient advocate for prescription drugs), Promise Place (fights domestic violence), The Real Life Center (social services), Fayette Factor (social services), Fayette Counseling (mental health), and the Fayette County Health Department.

The groups have worked together informally for several years, referring clients to each other but without ever knowing the outcomes. With C3 there is an actual process that coordinates referrals, diagnoses, and education and tracks improved healthcare results. The approach also helps reduce instances of patients using an ER for non-emergency services.

When non-profits collaborate everyone wins!
