Linkage Coordinator Project
Program Description & BenefitsHelping participants identify unmet health needs
In this free program, offered in partnership with DHHS, trained Linkage Coordinators help individuals with IDD, TBI, and mobility limitations, unmet health needs, and connect with the right resources and support services.
Based on each participant’s needs and goals, coordinators provide referrals to healthcare providers, mental health providers, health promotion programs, and other community services.
Participants in the program may experience:
Increased access to preventive and mental healthcare
Improved health and wellness behaviors
Better management of chronic conditions and health risk factors
What Participants ReceiveContinual screening for next steps
Participants meet with a Linkage Coordinator at a screening appointment to determine unmet needs. The participant then receives a referral to a preventative healthcare provider, mental healthcare provider, health promotion programs, or other services, such as transportation or housing, based on their answers to the screening questions. Participants will have a 3-month follow-up appointment to ensure needs have been met and to receive new referrals if needed.
At the screening appointment and 3-month follow-up participant will receive:
Knowledge assessment
Health education
Referrals & resource connections, as needed
