The United Community platform launched in Louisville, Kentucky in April 2019 as the first collaborative effort between healthcare, education, social service, and government organizations intentionally seeking to address social determinants of health. Using this system, individuals, families and those working to support them can gain access quickly to services that can help them be successful in meeting their desired outcomes. While many originally envisioned this system as a platform for just our under-resourced, and underserved communities, initial data confirms that United Community is a system for all — with many referrals for services targeted at addressing the health and economic effects of the Silver Tsunami – respite care for aging parents, referrals for assisted living and other housing needs, as well as food, social and financial supports. In this session we’ll discuss how to launch an electronic network to connect caregivers and the seniors they serve to wrap around services quickly and efficiently as well as what the future of the United Community effort may look like across the region.
