In this episode, our hosts Becky Betts and Sharon Brown break down what a Community Care Hub is and how it supports individuals across the nine counties Greater Health Now serves in Southeast Washington. They explain how the Hub coordinates resources, connects healthcare and community partners, and uses a closed‑loop referral system to ensure clients receive the help they’re connected to. Becky and Sharon also highlight the essential role of community-based workers, who build trust, guide clients through complex systems, and help address both health and social needs. Together, they share why Greater Health Now believes in this model, and how it leads to stronger outcomes and healthier communities.

In our third episode of Care and Consequence, host Becky Betts has a candid conversation with Captain Danielle Bertschi from Kittitas County Fire Protection District 6. Together, they discuss how cross-sector collaboration with healthcare systems, emergency services, and community-based organizations creates more responsive, people-centered care.

Danielle shares stories and struggles from the field and how Greater Health Now’s support is helping first responders bring healthcare directly to those who need it most. From crisis calls to community follow-ups, she highlights how collaboration and compassion lead to better outcomes for individuals and entire communities.

In this episode of Care and Consequence, hosts Sharon Brown and Rebecca “Becky” Betts explore how Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) programs are transforming care delivery. They demonstrate how MIH brings healthcare directly to people where they are. MIH reduces ER visits, prevents hospital readmissions, and connects patients to the right resources at the right time.

Sharon and Becky also highlight why return on investment matters. They speak to how MIH not only saves healthcare dollars but also creates measurable improvements in community health and well-being.
