Good health outcomes start in the communities where your patients live. Starting October 2, we invite you to Connect with Us by taking the Providers CARE Survey.
By taking the survey, you’ll give us information about challenges your patients are facing in their communities. Our goal is to help you improve your patients’ health by:
C= Connecting them with community resources (like food pantries and housing help);
A= Acting for better health by teaching them about their care needs;
R=Reducing stigma by showing compassion to others and taking time to think about your actions and thoughts about yourself and others; and
E= Encouragement. Take the time to listen to your patients. Treating them with kindness and support can help them take the steps they need for better health and support them on their journey to their best life.
We are here to help you Connect your patients to CARE. The CARE survey will ask you about the social conditions impacting your patients and learning opportunities that can assist your practice team.
Thank you for caring about the health of your community.
