Colin Crowe, assistant professor at the School of Medicine, co-wrote an article discussing the importance of a Pathways Community HUB model referral in addressing the social needs of diabetic patients. The article was featured in a Capsule publication from the Ohio Cardiovascular & Diabetes Health Collaborative (Cardi-OH) in December 2021.
In their article, Crowe and colleagues explain how inadequate access to social services in patients with diabetes poses a threat to patients’ health and treatment of their condition. Physicians can prescribe the Pathways Community HUB model to ensure patients receive adequate food, housing, and transportation.
