Healthy meals make a huge impact. In fact, poor nutrition is the main cause of poor health, high healthcare costs, and lower productivity in the US and globally. It leads to health issues like heart disease, cancer, and other serious conditions (Source: American Heart Association).

That’s why Patient Care Intervention Center (PCIC) is partnering with the University of Houston Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine (UHCOM) in 2024 to break down barriers to nutrition in the Houston Area by improving access to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Houston’s Third Ward.

Mortality rates are increasing for people experiencing homelessness in Harris County, and we need to learn more about why and how to help.

Patient Care Intervention Center (PCIC) is partnering with Dr. Ben King of the University of Houston Tilman J. Fertitta Family College of Medicine (UHCOM) to understand trends in mortality rates and causes of death among people experiencing homelessness in Harris County.

“We want to make an impact, but we don’t know if we’re helping the people who need it most, and we have a hard time tracking the long-term impact of our outreach team’s interventions.” Sound familiar?

PCIC can help—for example, our data-driven interventions in partnership with Amerigroup in 2023 led to a 75% reduction in hospital visits, a 72% decrease in healthcare costs, and a reported 12% improvement in quality of life for the enrolled patients.

These outcomes highlight PCIC’s ability to act as not just a partner, but an extension of our partners' teams, enabling you to maximize your resources with proven strategies that make a tangible impact.
