ACCESS Services

Access Services received grant funds through the Innovation Lab program for their project “Taking it to the Streets”: Bringing Integrated Healthcare to People Who are Homeless. This proof of concept project will develop a sustainable collaboration across multiple service providers and systems. It will create a roadmap for strengthening the safety net in Montgomery County by bringing services in an integrated way to homeless individuals who currently do not have access to treatment. The result of this project will be a plan for implementing viable long-term system change at scale that increases health outcomes for marginalized people through increased service alignment.

Access Services was provided a stipend for their participation in the Build Back Better Design Team.

“Taking it to the Streets, part 2”: Piloting Street Medicine in Pottstown:

This pilot project will build on the current HealthSpark- funded proof-of-concept project and serve as the next phase to bring street medicine to Montgomery County. The focus will be twofold: collaborate with health provider partnerships that have been formed to provide street medicine in Pottstown, and to maximize the use of technology to develop a service delivery platform. The outcome will be a model that can be replicated across the county, with health providers local to each community. 

Note: this grant award includes unspent funds from the prior grant.
