COMMUNITY AFFAIRS
One of the Alliance’s greatest strengths is its ability to respond
to community needs. The Department of Community Affairs (CAF) helps
the Alliance address these needs through outreach efforts and innovative
community health programs. Through these efforts we reach populations
that may not have access to the health care system, informing them
of health care services and helping reduce barriers to care.
Community Affairs works to improve the health of our communities
using a collaborative approach. By working with individuals, community
groups, non-profit agencies and public health departments, the Department
links people to health care and educates them about health issues.
Daily activities include promoting healthy behaviors, setting up
primary care appointments, helping people apply for health coverage,
identifying important community health issues and working with medical
staff to provide care in the language of choice.
Community Affairs operates several individual programs that target
cultural or linguistic minorities, at-risk populations and the community
as a whole. Please visit our community
programs page for more information.
