Across the healthcare and social care landscapes, there is common recognition of the importance of addressing health related social needs (HRSNs), such as food insecurity, housing instability, and lack of transportation, and the role that social inequality plays in health disparities. To better align social care delivery with healthcare delivery and payment, health plans and systems are partnering with community-based organizations (CBOs) to coordinate and deliver whole person services that address HRSN. Recent trends indicate a growing number of health plans contracting with CBOs, particularly through Community Care Hubs and the community care networks they organize.
