Brazos Healthy Communities’ program serves pregnant moms, individuals with a diagnosed chronic illness, and individuals with a disability. BHC is committed to improving outcomes around patient care amongst individuals diagnosed with a chronic condition and reducing health disparities amongst pregnant women.
By utilizing a tool called Pathways, a Community Health Worker (CHWs) is able to identify and track individually modifiable risk factors, working towards eliminating those risks one by one.
