Additional Resources

Our Neighborhood Connections managers and specialists live and work within the Southern, Central, and Northern Regions of Trillium. Staff maintains relationships with local agencies to share information, and learn about ways to meet unmet health-related resource needs, host in-person new member orientations (when available to do so), and help plan activities to increase engagement and awareness.

Our Neighborhood Connections specialists work with local community partners to link members with unmet health-related resources and supports. These includes:

• NCCare360 - is the first statewide coordinated care network to electronically connect those with identified needs to community resources and allow for a feedback loop on the outcome of that connection.
