Register for this learning collaborative

Health Care for the Homeless providers serve a population with complex health and social needs. One of the main challenges to improving health for people experiencing homelessness is the ability to address the social determinants of health, including access to housing, food, transportation, employment, and other resources. Building innovative, cross-sector community partnerships is one way to accomplish this goal.

The Community-Centered Health Home (CCHH) model builds on the concept of PCMH while integrating a whole person, SDOH framework. The National Health Care for the Homeless Council has partnered with the Prevention Institute to provide trainings and peer learning sessions to assist HCH health centers in the adoption of the CCHH Model and support the participating health centers as they build community partnerships to accomplish this goal.

Participants will meet for four 60-minute learning collaborative sessions, with three content-focused sessions supported by Prevention Institute and one introductory session primarily focused on peer-learning. There will be optional office hour sessions available after the content-focused sessions. The goal of a learning collaborative is to be highly interactive, with the expectation that participants will share their experiences – both challenges and innovations – to encourage peer exchanges in each session.
