  • Breaking down barriers. "I had the opportunity to connect with a nice 87-year-old Spanish-speaking woman this month. She lives by herself and is very independent. She needed eye care but was faced with a couple barriers – she does not have transportation and does not speak any English. The eye clinic was at a walking distance from her house but did not have any Spanish-speaking staff. She needed transportation to reach a clinic with bilingual staff. I secured an appointment for her and taught her how to use Logisticare, a Medicaid transportation service. I connected her with Family Healthcare’s care coordinator for future assistance. She was able to get her eye examination and called to thank me for my help!" -Susana A., Utah Healthcare Corps Member
  • Coordinating Care. "An uninsured patient who lost her job due to COVID-19 needed help managing her chronic health conditions. She is dependent upon her son who has his own family that he is taking care of. She needed help accessing a primary care provider and dental services. We informed her about the volunteer care clinic that we have at Community Health Connect twice a week. She ended up coming in for care, got a few medications prescribed, and was provided with a GoodRx card to help lower the cost of those medications. We introduced her to our dental specialist for adults and connected her to our Medicaid specialist for enrollment. She is now taking an online dental education course and we are staying in touch to continue coordinating care with her team of providers." -Jeremy C., Utah Healthcare Corps Member
