The Unite Us electronic referral platform has allowed us to more comprehensively address the physical, social and behavioral health needs of families in the hospital as well as those families we serve prenatally in our OB Emergency Care Center and those we follow up with after discharge from the hospital. The nurses who are reaching out to families after discharge are providing a critical connection to help in a time that can be frightening and isolating. The isolation has been particularly magnified by the pandemic. Nurses have the key skill set to address the physical, social and behavioral health needs of families. To date SMH has sent 737 referrals on the platform. When we contracted with Unite Us, we not only purchased an electronic platform, we gained a partner. With this new partner, we are more fully able to live out our mission to provide services that excel in caring, quality and innovation.” - Mary O’Connor, Manager of Community Outreach Women & Children’s Division, Sarasota Memorial Health Care System https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3c260fb6e27c5470214d4f/1611863574120-Z4NEKFQZG0KOUTVRJ6NZ/families.JPG Blog - Paving the Way for 2021! - “As a community women’s health and education center, partnering with 1st 1000 Days and Unite Us allow Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center to serve pregnant women, their children, and their families and build a stronger community.”- Linda Wenck, Nurse Manager/COO, Sarasota Medical Pregnancy Center https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3c260fb6e27c5470214d4f/1611780191789-L8XDAM9INN5NJ1UZ63ST/mhm.png Blog - Paving the Way for 2021! - “Last Friday, I worked with a client with pressing medical needs who had lost her job and health insurance because of COVID. She wasn’t asking for much from us but I could sense that she felt defeated and was desperate for assistance. I entered her into Unite Us and referred her to a women’s health clinic. I just got a note from the platform that the clinic had contacted her and are helping her get emergency Medicaid, financial planning assistance and parenting support. It brought me to tears to read that. This client has been weighing on my heart all week. We also successfully referred another client for financial assistance to a nonprofit dedicated to addressing health disparities, that I didn’t even know existed. Feeling hopeful.” - Donna Love, Early Literacy Outreach and Partners Coordinator for Sarasota County Libraries, volunteer Mothers Helping Mothers https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3c260fb6e27c5470214d4f/1611780109197-AWX2Q5CAAVK2UEPFIQEB/RR.png Blog - Paving the Way for 2021! - "The Unite Us platform has given Resilient Retreat the resources to more easily refer our participants for services that we do not offer. This has made a huge difference for our participants in accessing the services they need. Many times, when participants are experiencing high levels of distress, they do not have the capacity to locate and reach out to the supports they need own their own. I have had many participants show immense gratitude for helping them to connect to supports through the Unite Us platform.“- Dr. Sidney Turner, Founder and Board Chair of Resilient Retreat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3c260fb6e27c5470214d4f/1611780288579-5LZN47CU416341QIP5FH/healthystart.png Blog - Paving the Way for 2021! - “Thank you for bringing Unite Us to Sarasota. Reducing barriers to accessing care is a top priority for addressing substance use disorders. The Unite Us platform delivers by allowing for coordination of service referrals to boost protective capacities and much more. I especially like the text feature, as this makes it easier to communicate and to send notifications, and getting signed consents this way. Unite Us is also a time saver, as I no longer have to fax or spend long wait times to refer or get status updates." - Anne Gaines, Substance Use Specialist, Healthy Start https://www.first1000dayssuncoast.org/news/extra-extra-read-all-about-it-first-1000-days-sarasota-in-the-news monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://www.first1000dayssuncoast.org/news/end-of-the-year-celebration monthly 0.5 2021-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e3c260fb6e27c5470214d4f/1608663550256-1THT1V88V3H4MICVH00Z/facebook.jpg Blog - End of the Year Celebration - Spread the word about the initiative and Parent Portal website!
