Social Cascade is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Reach Out and Read in Virginia and Neighborhood Health. A leading provider of quality healthcare services in Virginia, Neighborhood Health’s mission is to improve health and advance health equity by providing high quality primary care regardless of ability to pay. These services include Reach Out and Read’s proven early literacy intervention program that promotes early literacy by giving new books and encouraging families to read aloud to their children.
Our partnership with Neighborhood Health will allow us to leverage our respective strengths and resources to offer a broader range of services to patients and families. Together, we will work to address the unique healthcare needs of the community and ensure that everyone has access to quality healthcare and the critical information needed to empower families to make informed decisions about their health.
As part of this partnership, we will be working to:
Expand access to critical care information through accessible, ubiquitous communication channels
Reinforce messages delivered during primary care appointments throughout the year where patients are already looking for information
Improve awareness of local resources and services that address social determinants of health
Built health literacy and empower health-promoting behaviors
We are confident that this partnership will make a positive impact on the health and well-being of our community. We look forward to working with Reach Out and Read and Neighborhood Health to achieve our shared goals.
