About Community Care Pathway

Care navigation rooted in community

Community Care Pathway exists to make sure no one in Georgia has to figure out the healthcare and social service system alone. We connect people to care through trusted Community Health Workers — neighbors helping neighbors find their way.

Why We Exist

The system wasn't built to be navigated alone

For too many individuals and families, getting help means juggling phone calls, paperwork, waitlists, and conflicting information — often while dealing with a health crisis or financial stress. A missed appointment, an unfilled prescription, or an unmet need for food or housing can quietly derail someone’s health.

Community Care Pathway was founded to close that gap. We pair people with trained Community Health Workers — people from their own communities who understand the systems, speak the language, and stay with them until they’re connected to what they need.

Our Approach

The Community Health Worker model

Community Health Workers (CHWs) are frontline healthcare navigators who share life experience, language, and culture with the people they serve. That shared trust is what makes the model work — CHWs aren’t outside experts giving instructions, they’re community members walking alongside someone through a process.

Our CHWs are trained to assess needs, build a clear pathway to the right services, and follow up consistently — giving referral partners visibility into what happens after a hand-off, and giving individuals a steady guide through a path that often feels confusing on their own.

Assess

Conduct in-depth needs assessments covering health, behavioral health, and social determinants.

Connect

Link individuals to local resources — healthcare, food, housing, transportation, benefits, and more.

Follow Up

Stay engaged through check-ins, ensuring services are accessed and barriers are addressed.

What guides our work

Dignity First

Every person we serve is treated with respect — never reduced to a diagnosis, a case number, or a statistic.

Rooted in Community

Our CHWs come from the communities they serve — bringing trust, cultural understanding, and lived experience to every interaction.

Care Without Bias

Care decisions are based on clinical need and social factors alone — never on race, ethnicity, or background.

Our Network

Part of a growing movement for community-based care

Community Care Pathway is built in alignment with Georgia’s broader community health ecosystem — including the Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement (ARCHI), the Georgia Department of Public Health’s CHW initiatives, and statewide advocacy efforts working to strengthen access to care for every Georgian.
