Case study on care resource coordination in Covid-19, The Immokalee, Florida Program
This case study is part of a PIH series on care resource coordination for COVID-19. Care resource coordination facilitates the social, material, and other supports that COVID-19 cases and contacts need to safely isolate or quarantine. Today, millions in the US struggle to meet basic needs and not everyone can quarantine and isolate equally. Resource coordination is an essential part of an equitable pandemic response and can be applied far beyond COVID-19.
This case study describes the Immokalee Program, an operational accompaniment model in southwest Florida to connect vulnerable migrant farmworkers and essential workers with clinical and social supports across the COVID-19 response cascade (community protection, testing, case investigation and contact tracing, supported isolation and quarantine, and vaccination).
