BD Healthy Communities
The BD Helping Build Healthy Communities program and the Innovations in Care Award were established in 2013 by global med-tech company, BD, Direct Relief and the National Association for Community Health Centers to help community health centers expand innovative care practices that improve patient health. Wahiawā Health was the 2022 Innovations in Care Award winner and has received private, philanthropic grant funding, which has helped us to support the creation of an integrated care team and care model to address chronic disease, particularly within Asian and Pacific Islander communities. This team approach seeks to improve medication adherence to prevent health complications associated with chronic disease and cultural, social, economic, and environmental challenges such as poor health literacy, lack of food, and housing. In addition, a population health coordinator provides a useful tool for collecting and tracking more in-depth data on SDOH, hemoglobin A1C, health screening tools and comprehensive diabetes services throughout the year.
