About Us
The Community Connections Partnership
The Community Connections Partnership was launched in 2020 by three California health systems — Blue Shield of California, CommonSpirit Health, and Kaiser Permanente — in collaboration with dozens of community-based partners and technology company Unite Us. Together, the Partnership is committed to making a collective impact on care quality and health equity for California’s most vulnerable populations by finding new ways to address the social factors that contribute to negative health outcomes, from inadequate living conditions and poor nutrition to social isolation.
Community Roots
The Unite Us network makes it possible for SAR navigators to support adults and youth in the Sacramento community who have been or might be involved in the justice system. As a recent network partner based in Sacramento shared, “The network makes it possible for us to coordinate and connect those we serve with the resources they need to be successful and heal from the trauma they have experienced.” Learn more about the Unite California network’s powerful story helping to provide the wraparound support justice-involved youth and adults need: blog.uniteus.com/welcome-home

Unite NYC
Unite NYC is a coordinated care network of health and social care providers that is launching on April 14th and sponsored by funding partners currently led by Public Health Solutions and AIRnyc. In 2018, our work with Public Health Solutions began as a small food security grant-based pilot (FNS Bundle) in the Bronx. The current city-wide expansion is part of a rapid response to COVID-19.
