Description Who is Gather Health? Gather Health is a collective of outreach partners, care partners, clinicians and, most importantly, patient partners who work together to reshape lives and communities. We bring hands-on social and medical care to our patients and work around their needs, both within our care facilities and in their homes. We work alongside local leaders to build communities and provide tailored care experiences that serve the seniors that live within them. When we Gather, we show love, compassion, community, and care. What is this role about? Our older adult patients living in communities that we serve are faced with a variety of social challenges, called “Social Determinants of Health”, or SDOH. These challenges include a variety of difficulties that stem from lack of resources; and one of the examples is lack of transportation.
