The challenges facing health care are daunting – the cost is too high, there is a shortage of providers, and disparities in health outcomes persist. The majority of health care costs are due to chronic conditions and nearly half of all American adults have a chronic condition. Meanwhile, the vast majority of health care is affected outside clinic walls.
There is a better way. By improving social connections and technology literacy, we can improve health outcomes and address the burgeoning population of patients with chronic conditions. By redesigning care delivery to include community health workers, we can close the gap between recommendations and results, and help manage the logistics of living well.
CareNeighbor is a community health worker patient panel management system. We provide knowledge and tools to help community health workers efficiently guide patients to existing disease management programs, local resources, social services – and ultimately better health. And we help community health workers strengthen existing trusted relationships and improve health with the support of technology.
CareNeighbor enables consistent and measurable community health worker interventions, and we support the technology that helps make these workers scalable. We help people seamlessly access existing resources, connect with their social networks and improve their health literacy to build individual capacity to achieve wellness.

Because community-based health care workers know and understand the communities they serve – and have heightened awareness of local culture and existing resources – they reduce disparities in care. Technology can further improve the effectiveness, impact and scalability of community health workers, and enable them to spend more time with patients.
No single entity is responsible for social health although it has a major impact on the cost of health. Community health workers are localized to the community and improve health outcomes by building on strong, trusted relationships. They also contribute to reducing health care costs by decreasing unnecessary hospitalizations and Emergency Department use.
Technology effectively optimizes social connections and health literacy, and is the most common way people stay connected with their social network. It also enables delivery of health care tips and reminders, and improves access to providers, support groups, condition-specific information and preventive care.
CareNeighbor offers a simple, yet elegant solution for what ails health care.
