The Desimone Levee on the Green River failed and is under repair. The hospital is above the flood zone and currently in no danger of flooding. We evacuated our Time Square and Kent Station Clinics and our Lind Avenue locations. Several locations are experiencing staffing issues due to severe traffic impacts. Impacted patients are being contacted to reschedule appointments. Please be safe, do not drive or walk through standing water, and call 9-1-1 if you need emergency evacuation assistance.

Value-Based Care and Cross-Sector Partnerships to Improve Community Health
In this podcast, Valley's Hiroshi Nakano, vice president Value Based Initiatives, Judith Puzon, director Outpatient Nursing Services, and Julie Osgood, former vice president Clinic Network, discuss the work using PRAPARE to position ourselves for value-based care, enhance cross-sector partnerships, and improve the health and wellbeing of our community. Listen to the podcast.
Background: Valley Innovation Center worked with FDCares and the National Association of Community Health Centers to learn about the work addressing the needs related to social drivers of health necessary to providing whole-person, value-based care.
Valley Medical Center leveraged PRAPARE, an assessment tool consisting of a set of national core measures, as well as a set of optional measures for community priorities, to assess and address the needs of our racially and linguistically diverse community.
