Organizations don't just finish a project. They end up stronger.
Here's a record of what that looks like — the programs built, the coalitions led, the standards written, and the work that's still running years later.

Programs built to outlast the project
Every other region was running standard respite-only programs. Caregivers in this region had needs those models weren't designed to address — home safety, end-of-life planning, individualized coordination that went beyond scheduled breaks.
A 1:1 case management model with home safety equipment, resource coordination, and end-of-life support built in from the start — designed to meet people where they were, not where the program assumed they'd be.
The High Country had no federal fall prevention infrastructure. Fall prevention programming existed in pockets, but nothing coordinated at a systems level or backed by sustainable federal support.
Secured and managed a $500K+ federal grant that expanded programming, built durable healthcare partnerships, and created the infrastructure for long-term fall prevention across the region.
Clinicians, public health leaders, and community-based providers were working toward the same goals in parallel — without shared infrastructure, decision-making, or a coordinating body to move collective efforts forward.
Co-led the High Country Falls Prevention Coalition and Exercise is Medicine Task Force — bringing together cross-sector partners around shared priorities and creating the organizing structure the region didn't yet have.
Clinical settings could identify patients who needed preventive and community-based services — but lacked the infrastructure to connect them. Referrals happened informally, inconsistently, and without follow-through.
Designed and implemented referral workflows using EPIC and NCCARE360 that created a sustainable, trackable bridge between health systems and community organizations — with underserved populations centered from the start.
