Rural Health Transformation - For Community Based Organizations

What ToRCH Care Means for You

The Hub formally connects healthcare with community organizations that address food, housing, transportation, safety, and other non-clinical needs affecting people’s health. CBOs are not “add-ons”; they are full partners.​

​Community Based Organizations:​

  • CBOs help shape priorities, accept referrals, and provide services that directly affect health outcomes. The Hub ensures your work is visible, coordinated, and supported. CBOs are full participants in the Leadership Board and program design process. Your expertise helps the community:​

  • Understand root causes of poor health outcomes​

  • Design programs that meet people where they are​

  • Ensure services are accessible, culturally appropriate, and effective​

​Social Entities: ​

  • Schools, faith organizations, police and fire departments, and other trusted community entities often see needs first. The Hub gives these groups a clear, supported way to connect residents to needed help. Schools, faith organizations, police and fire departments, local court systems, and other community groups contribute by: ​

  • Sharing insight into emerging needs​

  • Referring individuals to Hub-supported services​

  • Participating in discussions about local priorities​
