Answering a Community Need
In our community, those who are vulnerable have to navigate a myriad of systems to access the care and services they need to be healthy. For many this can be difficult, if not impossible. Until recently, we lacked a tool to effectively coordinate care between healthcare, government, and social services systems.

IMPACT Connect is the answer. We’re a collaborative partnership of agencies combining efforts to make social services accessible and navigable to the people who need them. Using a robust, shared electronic resource network, IMPACT Connect members are able to easily work together to foster whole person care and a healthier community for everyone.

How It Began
Recognizing the need to improve the health of at-risk individuals in our city, the Milwaukee Health Care Partnership mobilized local health systems to explore the potential of a community information exchange to enhance health navigation and improve outcomes. As the provider of 211 services in Southeastern Wisconsin, IMPACT was tasked to lead the effort and share expertise — including managing complex social service systems, an established network of partnerships, and the largest and most comprehensive resource database in Wisconsin.
