Reflect on the whole town
Think it through
Before you meet your patient
Pick one place on this map. Who might live or work there, and what would make it hard for them to follow a plan that needs weekly appointments?
Which supports in Brooke Harbor could you connect a patient to without a referral from a clinician, and which ones would need one?
Where would you start if a patient's treatment plan looked clinically sound but kept failing in practice?
Explore your patient’s community
Use what you know about your patient to explore the places, services, and community connections that shape their daily life and care.
Where does your patient live? Find their neighborhood on the town map, and note what's within walking distance.
Where do they work or go to school? Visit that place on its neighborhood walk, and look at its hours, schedule, and benefits.
How do they get to appointments? Check the bus routes, shuttle, or Harbor Ride in the town directory, and estimate how long a trip to their BHHS clinic would take.
What language does your patient prefer for healthcare conversations? Find where in Brooke Harbor they could get care, support, or community connection in that language, and when you'd need to schedule an interpreter.
Which BHHS department or practice cares for them? Find it with "BHHS across town" on the map.
What community supports are near them? Look for places of worship, the resource center, peer programs, recreation, and other gathering places in their part of town.
Which social determinants of health stand out for your patient, and how might they shape your treatment plan?
