Connecting community members to resources, health navigation, and support for autoimmune and chronic illness. This work improves access to care and ensures individuals are not left to navigate symptoms, care systems, and services alone.

Through trusted partnerships, direct support, and in-person community-based engagement, this work helps reduce barriers and bring care, resources, and navigation closer to the people who need them most.

Strengthening Pathways to Care Through Community, Navigation, and Support

Collaborative APPROACH TO COMMUNITY-BASED CARE

By linking individuals to resources, health navigation, and community-based support, this work moves beyond awareness into action. It strengthens access, reduces barriers, and creates clearer pathways to care for those navigating autoimmune disease and chronic illness.

It does this in three key ways:

How the Community Care Collaborative Creates Lasting Impact

Connecting individuals to screenings, providers, benefits, and community-based services that support earlier access to care.

EXPANDING ACCESS TO CARE AND RESOURCES

Helping individuals understand symptoms, identify next steps, and navigate care systems with greater clarity.

PROVIDING HEALTH NAVIGATION SUPPORT

Building trusted connections through workshops, outreach, and partnerships that bring care and resources into community spaces.

STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY-BASED SUPPORT
