The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services envisions a future in which everyone, regardless of their social circumstances, has access to aligned health and social care systems that achieve equitable outcomes through high-quality, affordable, person-centered care. - Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation.

The Biden-Harris Administration’s vision is to allow every American to live a full and healthy life in every community. They have created a playbook that sets the stage for agencies and organizations to re-imagine new policies and actions around social determinants of health (SDOH). - The White House (November 2023).

Community Care Hubs (CCHs) are community-centered entities that organize and support networks of community-based organizations (CBOs) to meaningfully and efficiently integrate CBOs and the health-related services they provide into the healthcare continuum.
