Support beyond the clinic

We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that connects patients at Houston's community health centers to the local organizations that help with food, housing, utilities and more.

Backed by & partnered with

The challenge

FQHCs have the impossible job of providing life-saving care and connecting patients to community resources.

Our solution

That's where we come in. We handle the connection, so clinics can focus on care.

How it works

Three steps to close the loop.

  1. 1.Our volunteers sign up patients on the app.

    Trained volunteers and clinic care coordinators get patients onboarded in minutes, or patients can sign themselves up.

  2. 2.The app guides them to eligible services.

    Lucero matches each patient with the local services they qualify for, from food banks to utility help, and shows them where to go.

  3. 3.Our volunteers check in until they get help.

    Volunteers and care coordinators follow up and patients self-report, so every referral closes the loop.
