SCN TOWNHALL REPLAY

The Social Care Network (SCN) aims to improve social care services in Brooklyn through community engagement and collaboration. Speakers discussed the importance of data-driven and technology-enabled networks, as well as addressing the social determinants of health such as housing, transportation, and nutrition. Community-based organizations (CBOs) play a crucial role in shaping the delivery of social care, and innovative housing solutions are needed to address the complex needs of individuals living with chronic illnesses. The Brooklyn Community Health Initiative is a pilot program focused on improving healthcare services in the area, with a person-centered approach and community collaboration at its core.
