🎧 New Podcast Episode: Amplifying the Role of Community-Connected Health Workers in Medi-Cal California is reimagining who delivers care by making space for trusted, community-connected providers in its #Medicaid program—from #doulas and #promotores to peer support specialists and health navigators. In this episode of #WorkforceRx, CHCF Senior Program Officer Carlina Hansen joins Futuro Health CEO Van Ton-Quinlivan to explore how California is building the infrastructure to support these providers — highlighting the role of #CommunityCareHubs as key to making these innovations work. “Hubs act as sort of the connective tissue between health plans, providers, and communities,” says Hansen. “They hold the promise to make it easier to connect those community-based providers and their patients to Medi-Cal.”🎙️ Listen for a ground-level look at how California is advancing community-based, whole-person care through an expanded, interprofessional team.
