LINKUP WITH THE GCH HEALTH COACH
To expand the hospital’s mission, to improve the health care needs of the communities we serve, Garden City Hospital (GCH) has developed a community outreach initiative to address two of the most chronic health conditions that currently affect its population: heart disease and diabetes.
OUR MISSION IN MOTION
To address critical health challenges in the community, GCH has created an innovative community mobile health program, LinkUP with a Health Coach, to provide free prevention and coordinated services to help reduce heart disease and diabetes within our community. This outreach program utilizes the Garden City Hospital Health CoachSM, a 40 foot motor coach/bus, to provide services to low income and uninsured (or underinsured) populations in need of health care.
SERVICES OFFERED
GCH’s Health CoachSM provides intake, health screenings/assessments, health coaching, diabetes case management, community health resource referrals, health information, and patient care follow up.
