Determined Health
Driving innovation to improve the health and well-being of older adults, support vulnerable populations, and address critical unmet needs, Determined Health empowers organizations to effectively address social isolation and other critical social determinants of health. Through our Connection1st CallHub, we connect volunteers with socially isolated older adults, individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and others with complex care needs, to build meaningful engagement. We are determined to create communities that support people’s ability to live well, age well, engage with each other, and, above all, thrive with dignity and purpose.
This organization serves more than 5,000 near-term projection with exponential growth.
Telephonic engagement for frail and primarily homebound older adults and individual with disabilities
We provide telephonic social connection to older adults, individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and other groups at higher risk of social isolation.NAFollowing initial social call program volunteer training along with informational sessions providing background on central topics (eg social isolation, loneliness, social determinants of health, healthy aging, community health, health system innovations/challenges, etc.) students will conduct social telephone calls through the Connection1st CallHub system (which tracks all call activity). Students will then participate in individual and group supervision, in which they will have an opportunity to process their experience making social calls, strengthen social call skills, work-through challenging situations, address any potential concerns, etc.
