Pillar of care.

Support Designed Around You

Whether you're managing complex healthcare needs, looking for stable housing, or navigating community resources, EPIC connects people with coordinated services that address the whole person.

Our Approach

Two Ways to Get Started

Whether you're seeking support for yourself or referring someone else, our team is here to help you connect with the services that best fit your needs. EPIC delivers integrated care through three core services. While each service has a unique purpose, they are designed to work together to support individuals throughout their healthcare journey.

A Journey that starts at home

Housing Supports

Housing Supports address social factors that influence health and well-being. These services help individuals obtain the resources necessary to remain healthy and independent within their communities.

Guiding Ourselves in health

Community Health

Community Health Workers build trusted relationships within the community, helping individuals navigate healthcare systems, understand available resources, and overcome barriers to accessing care. Members cannot be enrolled to both CHW and ECM/CS at the same time.

  • Health education
  • Community outreach
  • Resource navigation
  • Appointment support
  • Advocacy
  • Wellness coaching
  • Connection to local programs

How Our Services Work Together

Care Centered Around You

Instead of asking people to fit into programs, EPIC builds services around each individual's unique journey. Some individuals receive one service. Others benefit from multiple services working together. Our care teams coordinate communication, reduce duplication, and ensure every member experiences seamless, person-centered support.
