Partners in Care Foundation Integrated Networks for Medical Care and Social Services

Grant Summary

The John A. Hartford Foundation Trustees approved a $2,068,500, three-year grant to develop two large-scale, prototype networks that link community-based, social service agencies to the health care sector, with the goal of establishing an integrated health care and social services delivery system. The Partners in Care Foundation, of San Fernando, CA, will be the direct grantee and primary project leader, building a regional network in Southern California, with Elder Services of Merrimack Valley and Hebrew SeniorLife acting as subcontractors to develop a Massachusetts collaborative. The project will develop exportable tools and lessons that will be shared with seven other agency networks supported by the Administration for Community Living (formerly the Administration on Aging) with technical assistance and training to enable the social service providers to collaborate and contract with each other, as well as with health care providers and health insurance plans. The Hartford grant is part of a $4,010,846 million, three-year project that includes funding from the Tufts Health Plan Foundation and California funders.
