SDGs Impacted

Cityblock Health is a tech-enabled provider of health care and social services to low-income and racially diverse populations. Its mission is to “deliver personalized health services to marginalized communities, reduce disparities and rebuild trust between health care providers, social services organizations, and marginalized groups. This case study discusses Cityblock's experience of engaging its members virtually. It also discusses outcomes and impacts.

On average, the Cityblock’s virtually integrated team sees 51% of high-touch, engaged members per month, and 72% of our engaged foundational members every 90 days.
