CHaSCI is the Center for Health and Social Care Integration. We are driven to make the highest level of social care available to all.
Turn Every Patient Interaction Into Better Health Outcomes
Healthcare organizations using CHaSCI’s proven social care model see 30% fewer readmissions, higher patient satisfaction, and reduced provider burnout. Since 2008, we’ve helped over 67 organizations transform how they care for the whole patient.
Our work happens in two key areas:
