A Message From Our Founder
Our Story
Most people interact with the healthcare system from birth to the end of life and many times in between. Those interactions can provide vital connections, guidance, and life-saving care. Healthcare should be a positive force for individuals, as well as for the communities that need their service. But for too many, this is not the case. Patients are frustrated by systems that fail to treat them with dignity and respect, are frequently difficult or impossible to access, and often deliver fragmented care.
These challenges are exacerbated for individuals and communities that face the greatest challenges—people of color, people with disabilities, women, and all people who experience discrimination—who often report feeling unseen, unwelcome, or disrespected. In a country as wealthy as ours; we can and must do better. Our organization understands that today’s health challenges are influenced by issues well beyond the clinic walls, from the social, economic and environmental factors that shape one’s health to the safety of our surroundings.

Our Targeted Interventions aim to achieve the following outcomes:
Client Engagement
Increased access to care reduces barriers and increases service engagement.
Ending Homelessness
Ensuring pregnant and parenting women and their children have access to safe and stable housing. We understand that housing stability is the foundation upon which individuals can address other pressing issues.
Healthcare Utilization Reduction
By offering comprehensive support services, we aim to reduce preventable ED admissions and hospital admissions. Our model prioritizes preventative care and early intervention, preventing minor health issues from escalating into more severe conditions.
Decreasing Maternal Overdose and Relapse Rates
Our programming includes specialized support ensuring evidence-based treatment, medication-assisted therapy, and social support to reduce the risk of overdose and improve maternal and relapse rates.
Mental and Behavioral Health Outcomes
Success will be evaluated based on improved outcomes related to Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and behavioral health services, specifically focusing on reducing postpartum depression.
Legal Advocacy Impact
The success of our Legal Clinic model will be measured by its effectiveness in preventing child removals, which reduces maternal overdose, relapse, and trauma on families, and cost savings.
Improved child health outcomes
Decreased pre-term birth rates and NICU admissions related to maternal substance use.
