The Neighborhood Health Centers of the Lehigh Valley (NHCLV) is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center serving the under-served community of Allentown. Understanding health in a broad context, we seek to partner with our patients and community to build skills for stronger families and a healthier community. In June of 2012, NHCLV along with three other sites around the country entered into a partnership with Dr. Jeff Brenner’s Camden Coalition of Health Care Providers to develop outreach teams and community support based on Dr. Brenner’s innovative work in Camden. Teams work intensively with “Superutilizers” who have multiple hospitalizations and a tangled story of poverty, isolation and co-morbidity. NHCLV has partnered with Congregations United for Neighborhood Action (CUNA), Community Exchange Timebank and Parish Nursing Coalition to meet our superutilizers when and where they need us most – in the hospitals, in medical offices, in their homes and communities – to develop the relationships and understanding they need to break the pattern of high cost, low value interaction with fragmented systems of care.
