We're excited to welcome Maria Welch, Director of Community Health and Social Needs at Geisinger, and Nicole Matrey, Senior Health Services Specialist at Geisinger, for our upcoming PA Navigate/SDOH cohort call.

This session will dig into building shared language between CBOs and healthcare organizations — and what it really takes to create meaningful, lasting partnerships. Maria and Nicole will walk through Geisinger's own journey: how it started vs. how it's going, sharing honest lessons learned along the way. We'll also hear firsthand insight from CBOs actively involved in this work, offering a grounded, real-world perspective on what these partnerships look like in practice.

Whether you're just beginning to bridge the gap between healthcare and community-based work or looking to deepen an existing partnership, this conversation will offer practical takeaways for strengthening collaboration on both sides.
