Hopkins Community Connection (HCC) is program within the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine that supports the social needs of a diverse patient population in order to improve overal health of our patients and communities. Medical providers refer patients who are interested in accessing essential health resources (housing, food, health, insurance, transportation, and more) to HCC. Accepted HCC advocates spend the semester working 6 hours per week creating action plans with patients and providing weekly follow up calls to address any barriers to successfully accessing resources that may come up along the way. In this way, by addressing the social aspect of health as a supplement to a physician’s medical expertise, we hope to offer our patients comprehensive, equitable, and holistic care.
The application and more information about our program can be found on our website here.
