The Care Coordination Collaborative will be meeting on Wednesday December 16th at 3:30 to begin a conversation about the social needs screenings happening in the region and how we can use the AHCM data collected to better inform our work in addressing social and economic barriers of health in our region.
|
|
SWCAHEC will share the data with you from the AHCM program and begin to identify where gaps in community resources exist and how best to address those gaps. We hope we can continue to support care coordinators by providing this opportunity to share, collaborate and partner.

Using Care Coordination to Address
Social and Economic Barriers to Health
|
|
|
Current data shows that the majority of patients screened for social needs use navigation services, or care coordination, to meet their healthcare needs. Care Coordination is the organization of patient and client care between partners to deliver the most comprehensive and effective care. In Southwest Colorado, care coordinators work with healthcare providers and community organizations to address specific patient needs, to prevent disease and to increase wellness. SWCAHEC hosts the Care Coordination Collaborative which convenes those involved in care coordination in the region to discuss resources and services, barriers to care, and training needs. Please visit the Care Collaboration Collaborative webpage for information and resources at https://swcahec.org/career-advancement/care-coordination-collaborative/

Community Compassion Outreach needs volunteers to donate one home-cooked food item every Saturday for 20 Grab-N-Go Bags distributed to the homeless and food-insecure.
The Coffee & Conversations with the Homeless is held at the front entrance of Durango’s Schneider Park on Roosa Avenue, north of 9th Street Bridge. Individually packaged donations are accepted between Noon and 12:15pm. Two masked volunteers remain to sort donated food in plastic grocery bags to hand out with a bottle of water for 20 individuals who come by our station weekly. Sometimes we have only three items to distribute in each bag when volunteers are not in town. At other times, we may distribute an 8–course meal with desserts.

According to the Colorado Health Institute, the pandemic has demonstrated that mental health is a central part of daily life for all of us, not a specialized corner of health care.
