On behalf of Jackson Care Connect, I am excited to share our 2023 Report to the Community, which covers a busy and multifaceted year: Report to the Community 2023 (jacksoncareconnect.org)

From investing more than $2.3 million in community-based organizations to providing over 120,000 rides to health appointments, we took a number of steps last year to prepare for the future of community health. At the same time, we continued to make progress on the community-identified priorities of our 2020-2024 Regional Health Improvement Plan.

Our latest Report to the Community provides a glimpse of the milestones we celebrated in several priority areas, including hosting on-site health screenings for kids going back to school, expanding capacity for behavioral health services and installing hearing loops in health offices for members with hearing loss. The report also includes feature-length stories on our second-annual Recovery Summit, conducting a comprehensive community health assessment and expanding our network of traditional health workers.

You will also find lists of the community leaders who served on our Board of Directors, Community Advisory Council and Clinical Advisory Panel.

As I share the report, our staff and Community Advisory Councils continue to engage with community members as we prepare to adopt our next five-year Regional Health Improvement Plan later this year. The plan’s priority areas will be based on the extensive feedback we collected in 2023 and in community meetings in 2024.

None of our work to advance community health would be possible without our dedicated staff, our community and clinical partners and the leaders who serve on our community advisory councils, Board of Directors and Clinical Advisory Panel. 

Thank you for your commitment to the communities we serve. 

Sincerely,

Jennifer Lind

CEO
