Health Related Social Needs

PCSI addresses customers’ Health Related Social Needs (Social Determinants of Health) every day through our programs and services.

PCSI helps customers find and maintain stable and affordable housing; receive utility assistance; identify available childcare programs; increase their social connections; obtain nutritious foods; and deepen their health literacy.

We work with various referral platforms including FindHelp and PANavigate, and we receive referrals directly from health plans, providers, as well as self-referrals from patients and plan members.

We use a HIPAA-compliant customer database, provide frequent compliance training to staff, are working towards our HITrust Certification, and are covered by a cyberinsurance policy.

To discuss our programming, our work with health care providers and insurers, and our outcomes tracking, please contact Sarah Cook or Jim Jackson.
