CCHS discovered providing healthcare for those most in need requires providers to meet people where they are and work diligently to build relationships over time. To assist with this, CCHS has worked with community partners to provide services outside the reach of healthcare. These partners specialize in identifying and addressing many social determinants of health including housing, food stability, clothing, bill pay support,
and many other services that meet individual needs. Community partners include United Way of Central WV, Kanawha Valley Collective, The Salvation Army, The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, and many others.

The Mobile Clinic’s primary directive is to offer acute and primary care services to populations that do not seek routine care. This decreases pressure on community providers by improving population health, and improves patient outcomes by utilizing person-centered, evidence-based healthcare. Populations that are experiencing homelessness, or extreme poverty frequently report being alienated by traditional healthcare because of perceived stigma. CCHS addresses this stigma by maintaining that person-centered healthcare is the best way to improve population health and rapport with patients and communities.
