What is a Network TableTM? Network TableTM is an evidence-driven model that trains people to form teams that access their skills, and personal and business networks to empower people with complex needs to achieve goals that could not realize on their own.
What issues does a Network TableTM address? Network TableTM addresses the adverse SDOH (social determinants of health) of people with complex needs, including poverty, isolation, mental health, high-risk pregnancy, substance use disorder, chronic disease, and others. Outcomes include improved health and quality of life.
How does Network TableTM accomplish this? Network TableTM has volunteers outreach to their social capital: their skills and personal, social, and business networks.
Where are volunteers recruited from? Anywhere! Patient and Family Advisory Councils (PFAC), current patients, retired teachers and physicians, places of worship, word of mouth, etc.
How are the volunteers trained? Volunteers have training modules to complete and workbooks to train from. This can be done in person or virtually.
