Working to bridge the gap between hospital discharge and permanent supportive housing for homeless patients, the California-based Chronic Care Plus program found that 40 percent of client needs are related to social determinants, explains Paul Leon, CEO of the Illumination Foundation, a Chronic Care Plus joint venture partner. In this audio interview, Leon explains the need to not only house patients but also to connect them to a plethora of social services, including mental health appointments.
