Community Health Worker support
Participant will receive weekly or monthly support (via phone or in person) from a community health worker. The community health worker will be responsible for continuously assessing the patient's social needs, providing referrals to community based organizations, and assisting with the patient's non-medical needs as they progress through survivorship (e.g. social support, referrals, etc). Individuals who identify no risk factor will receive monthly phone calls, while individuals who identify 1-3 risk factors will receive monthly home visits with interim phone calls for 6 months. Those who identify 4 or more risk factors or have intensive needs such as behavioral health will receive the same services as the medium risk group and will also be connected with the social work teams within each institution.
