Engaging patients to improve equitable access to community resources

​

"The open and respectful dialogue that took place across all members allowed for a much richer conversation and better-informed decisions. We believe that, as a result of the partnership, the navigation model developed is much more likely to be responsive to patient needs, acceptable to care providers and has greater potential for scalability by decision-makers."
