With a grant from the Jefferson Regional Foundation, AHN’s Jefferson Hospital started an innovative program in 2018 to address social determinants of health factors known as the Front Door Initiative. This program successfully integrates screenings and makes referrals for long-term support within the duration of a patient’s visit to the ED. The program has had substantial growth, thanks in part to financial support from the Jefferson Regional Foundation, Highmark Foundation, and Allegheny County Health Department.
