Unique Clinical Partnerships to Enhance Community Well-Being

Understanding Health Beyond Clinics

Research shows that up to 90% of what affects an individual’s health happens outside traditional clinical settings. Despite the proven benefits of effective clinical preventive services (CPS), Americans typically receive only about half of the care they need. To foster a healthier community, a robust health system must connect with broader social determinants of health. Improving community health is a collaborative effort that no single entity can achieve alone.

Core Health Partners: Bridging the Gaps

Core Health Partners (CHP) addresses these gaps by establishing meaningful partnerships with community agencies, enabling access to essential clinical services in the settings where families live, learn, and play. CHP offers unique Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME), recognized by the American Diabetes Association for meeting their national standards. This training is available in both English and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for diverse populations.

Integration with Community Support Systems

CHP strives to integrate with community support systems, such as the YMCA and wellness centers, allowing for seamless handoffs to caring partners who understand patients’ needs. These partners provide the tools and resources necessary for effective lifestyle changes, enhancing the overall support network for individuals seeking to improve their health.

The Socio-Ecological Model of Health

The socio-ecological model emphasizes that personal health choices are influenced by a range of social, economic, cultural, health, and environmental factors. Effective lifestyle counseling must align with community efforts that foster environments conducive to healthier decisions.

Integrated Health Care Model

CHP’s integrated health care model focuses on education, lifestyle intervention, and clinical services within supportive community center settings. This “clinic to community” approach is designed for scalability, allowing it to be replicated across the nation. By fostering collaboration between clinical services and community initiatives, CHP aims to empower individuals and improve overall community health outcomes

Strengthening the Community and YMCA through Medical Referrals

Many Americans are intimidated at the thought of joining a gym and as many as 80-percent of Americans don't belong to one.

Even with clear evidence on the benefits of exercising, those living with chronic disease, such as; heart disease, diabetes, asthma, or back or joint pain, are often left with questions and anxiety about starting a safe exercise program.

Core Health Partners (CHP) bridges this gap by bringing clinic services to the YMCA's and other select community centers. The medical services include; physical, occupational, and nutrition therapy, as well as medical-education. CHP services are funded by Medicare and private insurance.

CHP works directly with the patient and the referring doctor to assure a safe and appropriate wellness programs and the YMCA becomes part of the integrated support team. This integrated approach is proven to improve the quality of life for many people and greatly reduces the anxiety. Patients are encouraged to sustain their wellness program after insurance benefits expire and CHP's medical staff remains embedded with the YMCA. CHP's partnership approach best assure membership retention and long term well-being for the individual.

Improving Access to Diabetes Education

Diabetes is at epidemic levels in the U.S., reporting a new diagnosis every 21 seconds. Diabetes has killed more people then breast cancer and aids combined.

Insurance companies realize the importance of funding education programs to confront the many complexities of this disease. Even so, less than 7% of those with private insurance and only 5% of Medicare beneficiaries participate in these programs.

Core Health Partners (CHP) & Help a Diabetic Child (HADC), a 501c3 non-profit, responded to this dismal participation by intentionally offering clinical services outside the hospital setting.

CHP participation includes; serving HADC's summer YMCA camp for children with Type1, providing clinical speakers for HADC's Annual Diabetes Conferences, and by offering a unique Diabetes Self-Management and Education (DSME) program which is delivered at YMCA / community centers.

The effort has gained recognition by the Collier County Commission, Florida's Governor's Office and by the American Diabetes Association. The photo represents a recent proclamation delivered by the County Commission to the group that includes leadership from HADC and Core Health Partners.

Center for Health Performance

Olympic Silver Medalists and World Champion Emilio Sanchez selected Core Health Partners (CHP) to fill clinical-gaps for the student athletes attending the ES International School and for those who train and compete at the world-class Academia Sánchez-Casal tennis facility (Naples Bath & Tennis Community).

CHP responded to Sanchez's request by constructing a robust sport medicine program within a unique on-site clinical facility entitled, the Center for Health Performance. CHP services include; athletic training, massage, physical & occupational therapy, medical-nutrition and nursing services. Services are open to the general public and oversight for the athletes is led by Dr. Michael Havig, a board certified orthopedic surgeon. Dr Havig previously served as the US Ski Team physician and provided orthopedic care to Olympic Athletes at the 1996 Summer and the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

Offering Medical Health Care in Community Settings

The vast majority of Americans want a healthier future and they say that they are willing to take action to improve their individual well being, yet only 20-percent are self directed to take action.

A well being lifestyle is similar to great art … it can be challenging to define, but you know it when you experience it. Wellness isn’t a work out, it is a lifestyle. Prevention is more than simply ordering a test, immunizations and counseling a patient. The unique “clinical to community” model, implemented by Core Health Partners (CHP) fills the medical gaps, focusing on patient education and engagement.

The CHP medical model is person centered, provider driven, medically integrated, and outcomes based. CHP assessments are focused on uniquely engaging each individual where they are and motivate them through the recommended lifestyle changes.

Our clinical preventive services are geared towards sustaining a wellness plan through lifestyle changes in supportive community environments. Our goal is to achieve positive long-term behavior changes that benefit long-term well being.
