The Virginia Community Care Innovation Collaborative

Welcome to the Community Care Innovation Collaborative, where we support development of community networks to connect people in need to health-related social supports. The Collaborative is supported by VAAACares®, Virginia's Community Care Hub.

Purpose

• We are at the front end of a wave of innovation for integrating health care and social supports. 
• The innovation trend is toward community care networks in which organizations work together to connect people in need to health-related social supports. 
• The purpose of this Collaborative is to support development of community care networks by bringing people together for collaborative learning and innovation. 
• Together we can help each other understand the possibilities, and innovate in ways that work best for people in need across Virginia.
