Cross-Sector Data Sharing to Create Healthier Communities

San Diego's 211 Community Information Exchange

A diverse set of regional stakeholders comes together to harness the value of cross-sector collaboration and data-sharing for a Community Information Exchange (CIE). San Diego 211 shares its story and how it integrates health care with social services and support critical to improving population health, driving system efficiencies and effectiveness, reducing costs, and advancing health equity.

Karis is Vice President of Health and Community Impact at 2-1-1 San Diego Community Information Exchange, or CIE. She oversees the CIE, supporting its vision, partner engagement, integration and sustainability for network partners across health and social services. She also works across the country to support other communities that are building similar models, by sharing best practices and providing technical assistance. She uses a public health lens to build relationships and partnerships with health and social services to improve coordinated care and health outcomes for the community. Prior to working at 2-1-1, Karis worked in international and refugee health to help improve access to care and preventive services. She is passionate about addressing social determinants of health barriers and advancing holistic health to improve equity locally and nationally.
