Rural Health Transformation - For Patients & Families

What ToRCH Care Means for You

Providers will leverage the hub to make sure the people and organizations in your community work together to support your health and well-being. It is designed so that wherever you enter the system, you can be connected to the help you need. ​

  • ​You might start at a clinic, pharmacy, school, emergency visit, or community organization​

  • If you need help beyond that setting, medical, behavioral, or social, your point of contact will leverage the Hub to connect services together​

  • If chronic conditions exist, new methods for care management may be deployed, such as remote patient monitoring or telehealth​

  • Community health workers (CHWs) or other partners may follow up to make sure you received support​

  • Information is shared (safely and appropriately) so you don’t have to repeat your story at every stop​
