Adventist Health is a faith-based, nonprofit integrated health system serving all communities across California. Adventist Health is committed to transforming their clients’ health care experience by providing whole-person care, addressing physical, mental, spiritual, and social needs to support community well-being.
As a Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) Capacity and Infrastructure Transition, Expansion, and Development (CITED) awardee, Adventist Health is using funding to bolster its capacity to support participants receiving Housing Deposits, Housing Navigation, and Recuperative Care support.
PATH funding has been instrumental in the success of its Hope Center, a 21-bed low barrier interim housing program located in Clearlake, California. Learn more about this Community Support provider by watching the video below:
Since launching its California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) programs in its Community Health Department, Adventist Health has housed 134 individuals, with 80 percent remaining housed after placement. Before participating in CalAIM, a single case manager handled housing navigation, medical care, and continuous case management.
“We did not have the staffing to follow up with people once they were housed, which led to more instability,” said Ronni Duncan, Care Management Manager at Adventist Health. “PATH CITED funds have allowed us to expand staffing, fill service gaps, and let case managers focus on their specific roles.”
“Most of all, these programs have helped build community and provide hope and healing to people who may not have had access to the healing support we offer,” Ronni added.
