AHCM
The Accountable Health Communities Model addresses a critical gap between clinical care and community services in the current health care delivery system by testing whether systematically identifying and addressing the health-related social needs of Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries’ through screening, referral, and community navigation services will impact health care costs and reduce health care utilization. Built for Zero
West Mountain Regional Health Alliance is the Community and Data Lead for Built for Zero, a national initiative that works to functionally end homelessness. Communities achieve this through collecting real-time data on individuals experiencing homelessness and connecting them with needed services. At the same time, communities are creating coalitions of many organizations to bolster current resources and develop new ones to ensure a strong range of programs and services to solve homelessness and prevent future homelessness. The program has been successful in a variety of settings, and WMRHA is excited to partner with several local organizations to bring BFZ to this region and seeing it through until every chronically homeless individual is housed. PSH
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is an intervention that combines affordable housing assistance with voluntary support services to address the needs of those who have experienced chronic homelessness. Services are designed to build independent living with tenancy skills and connect people with community-based health care, treatment and employment services. Partnering with the Colorado Health Foundation, West Mountain Regional Health Alliance is currently developing an implementation plan to bring Permanent Supportive Housing to our valley. Regional Health Connector

West Mountain Regional Health Alliance (WMRHA) formed as a regional entity in 2010 to examine the access to care gap of prenatal care for low-income women in western Eagle County. This lead to a collaborative Prenatal Program between Pitkin County and Eagle County. The success of the entity highlighted the need for the group to continue its efforts to identify issues and seek regional solutions. In order to do so, the alliance expanded to a broader community alliance that it is today. Today the WMRHA consists of members from many sectors of the healthcare industry, including: healthcare organizations, public health, human services, clinical providers, schools, private sector, and community organizations. All of these groups are committed to creating an integrated healthcare system (physical, behavioral and oral health) in Eagle, Garfield, Pitkin and Summit counties. The Alliance creates a neutral space for "multi-sector and multi-stakeholders" to convene, identify, understand, and work together on regional issues to create solutions. WMRHA works in collaboration with the members to address large, system-level healthcare challenges through alignment of initiatives and efforts and advocates for access to care.
