Better Health Partnership Pathways HUB Celebrates 5th Anniversary!

We are proud to be celebrating the 5th anniversary of the Better Health Partnership Pathways HUB. Launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the HUB has served almost 4,000 clients in Cuyahoga County and has met almost 22,000 client needs since its inception.

“It has been a humbling experience transitioning from supporting the visionary and talented team of leaders who built the Pathways HUB, to now having the honor of working more closely with the HUB care coordination agencies (CCAs) and their passionate community health workers,” said Matt Rosenblum, Director of the BHP Pathways HUB. “The HUB is only as strong as its partners, and over the past five years the development of trusted relationships has been instrumental in helping individuals in our community obtain the care and resources they need to overcome challenging health and social barriers and returning over $1.6 million in reimbursements to agencies in our community. I am confident that the HUB will continue to build upon its strong foundation by expanding our ability to meet the needs of our community, supporting the development and capabilities of the CHW workforce, and establishing new and valuable partnerships with more care coordination agencies.”

To honor the HUB’s 5th anniversary, representatives from two of the HUB’s inaugural care coordination agencies, the Carmella Rose Health Foundation and The MetroHealth System, shared thoughts about their participation in the HUB.

“We are profoundly grateful for our participation in the HUB, which perfectly aligns with our mission to support the homeless, justice-impacted individuals, recovering adults, and our growing senior population,” said Ginny Pate, Executive Director of the Carmella Rose Health Foundation. “We connect with people where they eat, live, and pray, providing personalized navigation through their medical journeys. Through the HUB programming, we are dedicated to improving the health of our community, one person at a time.”

“MetroHealth’s collaboration with BHP has been a wonderful partnership,” said Jen Conti, Manager of Care Transformation & Population Health, at The MetroHealth System. “The support our CHWs receive from BHP is immeasurable. We are able to collaborate with other health care organizations and community-based organizations to find the best resources to help our patients. Together we have been able to help our patients address food insecurity and meet needs related to furniture, utilities, baby items and provide many other resources to help expectant mothers ensure they have a healthy pregnancy as they prepare for the arrival of their new baby.”
