Pathways Program

Operating at Community Wellness Hubs, the Pathways Program is designed to address key health and social issues affecting at-risk populations. Through a health risk assessment, Care Coordinators identify barriers or risks to needed health and social services, assign “pathways” to each identified risk factor, and follow the community member until the pathways are completed.

Community Wellness Hubs Partners

Community Wellness Hubs partners with community-based organizations that are experienced and trained cultural brokers that understand implicit bias, patient trust, care access barriers, unequal healthcare quality and patient experience, and racism in clinical practices. These community-based organizations form the physical space for Community Wellness Hubs activities and the Pathways Program, which addresses key health/social issues for at-risk populations.
