Harris County Pathways Community HUB
A Simple Solution to Community-Centric Care Coordination
Harris County Pathways Community HUB is a Level 1 Certified HUB through Pathways Community HUB Institute® (PCHI®).

This includes individuals living with mental health conditions, substance use disorders, or those who are pregnant or up to 12 months postpartum with behavioral health risk factors. The HUB operates using The Pathways Community HUB Institute’s® (PCHI®) evidence-based, home-visitation, data-driven, pay-for-performance model of care coordination.The model leverages the expertise of certified Community Health Workers (CHWs) to provide long-term support, tailored education, and assistance in identifying and addressing risks. Through opening and closing “Pathways,” CHWs help individuals navigate various challenges, including food insecurity, access to behavioral health services, housing instability, medication adherence, health care coverage, pregnancy and postpartum care.
