Avenidas Social Work Services is empowering older adults across California to navigate the health care system and receive the services and support they need to live dignified lives. As an Enhanced Care Management (ECM) provider, they assist family caregivers with navigating complex legal, financial, and health care systems and connect individuals to community resources like food banks, transportation, and social supports.
Through the Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) Technical Assistance (TA) Marketplace, Avenidas is accessing free tools and resources to help them better coordinate personalized, holistic care for California’s older population.
The following testimonial from Avenidas highlights their appreciation for their chosen TA Marketplace vendor, Ohana Healthcare Partners, and illustrates how Medi-Cal providers are leveraging PATH resources to drive meaningful, lasting change.
“Over the past year, Ohana has been a true partner—offering expert guidance, strategic insight, and unwavering support. Their team helped us better understand the foundational infrastructure and staffing strategies we needed to build a sustainable program. With their support, we assessed our existing data capacity, identified critical gaps, and ultimately selected a new case management system that will significantly improve our efficiency and effectiveness.
Ohana helped us navigate contracts with two health plans and supported our grant application, which led to more than $500,000 in funding for our implementation work. Their advice on staffing, budgeting, and caseloads has set us up for long-term success.
All this progress has happened in just one year, and we would not be where we are today without Ohana’s support. They have been a key partner, and we look forward to continuing working with them as we finalize the Salesforce case management system they helped us identify.”
