Project Well-Being

Sometimes a person needs more than healthcare to be healthy. Many things can affect our well-being like being lonely, unable to meet basic needs, language, culture, even our skin color and where we work, live and play. A Community Health Worker can help connect patients and families to resources and services they need for good health.

Patients are asked to complete the Community Connect Screener once per year.  The screener helps to identify if patients are struggling with meeting basic needs and could use help connecting to resources. There is no cost to complete the form or to receive services. 

If you check YES in any of the boxes and check YES to wanting help with any of these issues, a Mankato Clinic Care Manager will refer you to a Community Health Worker. Community Health Workers can meet with you in-person, over the phone, or in your home.
