Core values

- **Addressing Prioritized Health Needs**: The project focuses on addressing critical health needs such as behavioral health and substance use, access to healthcare, access to food and nutrition, and stabilization of the built environment[1][4].
- **Community Resource Directory**: AMITA Health's use of the Community Resource Directory (formerly Aunt Bertha) helps connect patients and community members to essential services like medical care, food, job training, housing, and more. This significantly improves access to social services for the underserved and vulnerable populations[1][4].
- **Measurement-Based Care**: The implementation of measurement-based care allows for the quantification of the impact of behavioral health care, ensuring that the treatments provided are effective and demonstrate positive clinical outcomes. This is particularly important in a value-based care model[3].
- **Collaboration and Community Engagement**: AMITA Health collaborates with local community organizations, faith-based organizations, and other stakeholders to ensure optimal service coordination and utilization. This collaborative approach enhances the effectiveness of the programs and improves community well-being[1][4].
