Through client and /or caregiver engagement we ensure a person-centered approach to support individuals' personal outcomes which include health, social, physical and cultural needs, i.e. acquiring primary doctor, food, housing and financial security etc., with the intent to anchor individuals thus reducing social isolation.
The role of the Community Connector is to work in collaboration with other service providers to ensure a wraparound holistic approach to care.
