How the Pathways HUB Can Help You
Next Article
LCPHUB recruits, trains, equips and then assigns Community Health Workers (CHWs) to create a comprehensive risk assessment for each program participant. It then connects them to federal, state and local government and community services to address their unique risks. We call these connections Pathways and they lead to improved health and mortality.
Though the HUB is currently focused on pregnant women and their families in at-risk African American and Hispanic communities, the program is open to all Lorain County pregnant moms in need.
LCPHUB links you with a local, trusted and caring Community Health Worker (CHW) who focuses on the health of families and children. CHWs provide outreach, health education, care coordination and advocacy.
They bridge the gap between communities and the health and social services system while advocating for individual and community needs.
Direct pregnancy services may include:
-Obtaining a car seat, crib or other baby items.
-Assisting with food and basic needs.
-Finding transportation.
-Helping update skills and finding employment.
-Finding secure, affordable housing.
-Assisting with immunizations.
-Assisting with medications.
-Helping with substance use issues.
