Help With Food, Housing and Utility Needs From Reading Hospital
Reading Hospital's Community Connection Program connects patients with community resources for everyday needs that affect their health, through screening, referrals, and help finding services. The program works to close the gap between medical care and patients' social needs.
The needs the program helps with include access to food, stable and quality housing, reliable transportation, utilities, safety in cases of interpersonal violence, and health literacy.
A community health worker can support patients by helping them find the right care and community resources to stay healthy. Community health workers also make health information easy to understand so patients can make informed decisions about their care.
The page describes the program as serving patients, but it does not spell out who qualifies or whether you must already be a Reading Hospital patient, and it does not say what the program costs, so ask when you reach out.
To get connected with the Community Connection Program or to ask questions, email CCP@towerhealth.org. The page gives no phone number or office hours for the program.
The page also points people who want to learn more about services and programs in their community to PA 211 and FindHelp. PA 211 offers crisis support by phone, text, or online chat.
