As a trained health services researcher in urban community health, our team has secured up to $2 million in grants and contracts to lead multidisciplinary and inter-professional teams investigating the impact of interventions addressing unmet social needs on health disparities and the effectiveness of clinical partnerships with community-based organizations to improve health equity among vulnerable populations.
Our results with one large multi-hospital health system demonstrated that our clinical and social health integration models have been viewed favorably among patient participants and has also allowed for unparalleled engagement with clinical services among historically marginalized patient subpopulations, including immigrant and limited English proficient patients and caregivers. This work has served as a foundation and blueprint for several projects now being expanded across the health system
Our programs all incorporate patient-centered clinical care delivery, health provider training, community collaboration and data dissemination through a social justice informed lens.
