It draws from the experiences of two sites—Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis and the Los Angeles Department of Health Services Whole Person Care Program—that participated in the Community Partnership Pilot, a Center for Health Care Strategies initiative made possible by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
