- Social Innovation Fellowship
Award Year
Every day across the nation, Health Leads volunteers impact the health of low-income children and families by connecting them to social services through clinic-based Family Help Desks. Without community buy-in and hospital administrative support, Health Leads cannot accomplish its goals of empowering families and providers to manage social health and making a systemic impact on the way America’s healthcare works. This summer, Adele will review current clinical integration methods and conduct interviews with patients, volunteers, Health Leads staff, “clinical champions”, and nonprofit staff to assess how Health Leads and other nonprofits are integrated successfully into clinics, informing Health Leads’ efforts to provide critical services to more families every day.
