  1. $602,277 spent. The Community Health Access Project CHAP HUB is a nationally recognized pathways community hub model. The Pathways Community Hub Model is utilized from infancy to adulthood to assure accountable outreach to at risk individuals, documenting reduced risk, improved outcomes and reduced cost. As the local hub, CHAP covers Richland, Ashland, Crawford, Huron, Morrow and Knox counties. The CHAP HUB serves as the central networking center for a team of community care coordination agencies CCAS. These local agencies deploy culturally connected community health workers CHWs who reach out and engage individuals to help identify specific health, social and behavioral health risk factors. The work of the CHAP HUB network of local agencies assures focus on our communities most at risk populations and through evidence based and outcome focused steps, we assure individuals connect to primary care and prevention services, behavioral health, housing, food, clothing, adult education and employment. Community Empowerment - In this model of community care coordination, an individual from within the community served provides a culturally relevant link to existing health and social services. Employment, college training, and support services are provided to the community care coordinator so that the community and its residents become the agents for change. Social Advocacy - Community health workers open the door for necessary services to reach clients, who are otherwise isolated due to cultural, geographic and economic barriers. Care coordination services do not duplicate, but facilitate and strengthen existing community resources. Through home visits, the care coordinator serves as an ongoing resource to neighborhood families, identifying individual needs and providing connections to appropriate services.
