In this month's CEO Boot Camp Masterclass, we discussed the power of community partnerships and how they can benefit your health center, patient care, and health outcomes in your community.
When I was the CEO of a federally qualified health center, partnerships were one of my top priorities because I saw that we were better at providing services together. Non-profits and healthcare providers compete for the same clientele, grants, and funding. But instead of seeing other organizations in our community as competitors, I saw them as opportunities for collaboration. We're better together.
Here are some ways your health center can leverage community partnerships for strategic growth and scaling up:
πCo-locating services: A great place to co-locate services is an organization that serves your patient or desired patient population. It reduces your overhead expenses and the need for additional physical space.
πResult: Lower costs and seamless referrals, creating a win-win for both organizations.
πΈBillable Services: Serving patients of mental health centers or chemical dependency services and billing for those services can help those organizations be more sustainable. Utilizing the health center's billing and coding staff helps the partner organizations. It brings more unique patients into the health center's sphere.
πResult: Sustainable community services and more unique patients for your health centers.
π€Sharing Resources and Grants: Collaboration among community service organizations is the top priority of many private, state, and federal grants.
πResult: Competitive grant wins, strengthened community impact, and the ability to scale essential health programs.
Our CEO Boot Camp participants received actionable next steps, suggestions for strategic partnerships, and lessons learned from Steve Weinman and my years of experience in effective partnerships. Join us for the next cohort starting next March, and you can get all the help you need to put your health center on the map.
