What works for people with complex health and social needs?
We start with an authentic healing relationship. As we work with individuals to meet their goals, we also learn where they face systemic barriers. Then we work to fix the systems themselves. By forging partnerships, engaging community members, sharing data, redesigning workflows, and advocating for new types of funding and financing, we build more equitable ecosystems of care in Camden and South Jersey, throughout the state, and across the country.
Connecting people to care
The heart of our work is the Camden Core Model, which is our signature care management intervention. Following the principles of trauma-informed care and harm reduction, our goal is to empower participants with the skills and support they need to improve their health and well-being.
