Chelsea Hub draws police, nonprofits and hospitals; leaders say partnership is key to success
Summary
Dan Cortez lists partners—law enforcement, Roca, La Colorativa, CAPIC, hospitals, DCF, Boys & Girls Club and elder services—and says the Hub depends on diverse members to provide a full picture of those in crisis.
"To have a successful hub situation table, you really need, obviously, law enforcement," Dan Cortez said, listing the range of partners that join the table from hospitals to community nonprofits.
Cortez named local and regional partners that routinely participate: hospitals such as Everett Hospital and Cambridge Health Alliance, nonprofits including Roca and La Colorativa, North Suffolk Community Services, Mystic Valley Elder Services, CAPIC, Boys & Girls Club and state agencies such as DCF. He said those relationships make it possible to connect a person’s health, school and family context into a single plan.
The interview also notes that as the Hub became better known, Chelsea began mentoring about 20 other similar tables elsewhere and that local press coverage — including a Boston Globe feature — raised awareness of the model.
