TRMC Partners with Unite Us to Address Health Disparities and Improve Community Health
June 30, 2023 /
Titus Regional Medical Center (TRMC), the last independent rural health system in Northeast Texas, and Unite Us, the nation’s leading software company enabling cross-sector collaboration, are partnering to unite health, human, and social care providers to create a healthier, more successful, and more equitable health and social service network that serves all the underserved communities in Northeast Texas. In this way, Titus Regional Medical Center and Unite Us aim to address the unmet needs of people and families throughout Northeast Texas.
TRMC is dedicated to leading the transformation for healthier tomorrows in OUR communities by becoming a catalyst in rural America, transcending barriers to health through a culture of excellence and compassion. Titus Regional Medical Center looks forward to connecting community members to health and social service resources by identifying and connecting all appropriate resources with patients and community members who are seeking those services in one convenient hub. This partnership will support healthcare providers in closing the loop with their patients and systematically addressing each patient’s social determinants of health. TRMC will work with community partners to create an effective and collaborative network that provides for all members of the community served.
In Texas, Unite Us helps connect people to much-needed resources and services, through our closed-loop social care infrastructure, such as assistance with benefits navigation, food, utilities, transportation, and housing needs. Partners in the Unite Texas network are connected through Unite Us’ shared technology platform, which enables them to send and receive electronic referrals, address people’s social needs, and improve health across communities.
“TRMC is committed to optimizing wellness and equity in Northeast Texas. Only 20% of a person’s health and well-being are impacted by health care related issues (access to health care, specialized physicians, etc.). Our team and community must dedicate ourselves to addressing the socioeconomic, physical environment and health behavior factors which comprise the other 80 percent of an individual’s health and well-being. TRMC is proud to partner with the Unite Us family to lead the charge in Northeast Texas to ensure OUR community’s needs are met. The Unite Us platform is step one in building out access to resources available to OUR community.” said Terry Scoggin, CEO, Titus Regional Medical Center.
Together, Titus Regional Medical Center and Unite Us will securely connect people in need with community-based resources that can otherwise be difficult to navigate. The network provides a central point of contact where health and social service providers can securely access and refer people to needed services while monitoring progress and measuring outcomes.
“The collective goal of our partnership with Titus Regional Medical Center is to effectively increase equitable access to care for all Northeast Texas residents, regardless of circumstance,” said Brandon White, Director of Customer & Community Success in Texas at Unite Us. “TRMC and Unite Us will work together to redefine the quality, impact, and intersection of health and social care across this community.”
