Care Coordination

GMHC’s Coordinated Care Department offers a few care management options to help you navigate your own healthcare. At the center of our care management programs are a group of compassionate and knowledgeable team of care managers, ready to help you find the resources and information you may need, to get the help that you want. Our Health Homes Care Management teams will help you get connected to lifesaving services, find the right substance use and mental health program for you, find out if you are eligible for certain entitlements, advocate on your behalf to obtain entitlements, find housing resources to get you into stable housing, connect you to legal resources, and help you enroll in supportive services with people just like you, in an accepting and judgment-free setting.

Please review our care management program description and eligibility criteria below.

TCC connects them to primary medical care, housing services, and other social support services. We ensure entry into, and continuity in, HIV primary medical care, providing linkage to housing services, and assisting with access to other community and social support services.
