NEW YORK – DALLAS, TX, JANUARY 9, 2023 – Workforce Opportunity Services (WOS) , a leading nonprofit committed to developing the skills of untapped talent from underserviced and veteran communities, is partnering with Unite Us , the nation’s leading software company enabling cross-sector collaboration, to elevate a seamless client journey. Unite Us transforms the way services are delivered and seeks to identify and bridge care gaps, which aligns with WOS’ vision to advance health equity. In using Unite Us’ web-based platform and joining its secure network, WOS will better provide clients with the social care services they need in their local communities.
Referrals are electronic, secure, and much smoother with this partnership, connecting clients with various in-network organizations that better serve their needs. As a result, clients can take ownership of their health with full transparency and get the care and support they need, while providers can coordinate services and communicate together in real time. In increasing health access to at-risk populations, WOS also shares a social working program implemented to assist associates, directly supporting them during a financial crisis and even leading them to recover from substance abuse.
“The challenge we have as a nonprofit is creating an online community and expanding our reach as we develop services to the public,” says Alyse Nullmeyer, Client Service Manager at WOS. “We put ourselves at the forefront of social impact, serving underrepresented populations and connecting veterans with employment opportunities and social services. This process is made seamless through Unite Us’ comprehensive platform. WOS is excited to see what this partnership will hold in the future and will continue to dedicate resources to ensure our clients receive the help they need.”
What if everyone could get the care they need when they need it? From transportation assistance to behavioral health support and everything in between, Unite Us helps community organizations discover where investments need to go.
