Greater Upper Valley Integrated Services Team

GUVIST provides space for willing partners to learn an integration process using Collective Impact principles and incubate integration solutions. The Integration Catalyst then provides technical assistance to cultivate service delivery networks and facilitates regional needs into action, helping partners move beyond collaboration to integration of leadership, decision-making, operations, and responsibility.  Integration of service delivery improves services and support for community members to be efficient, effective, responsive and appropriate to the desires of those in need, where and when they are needed. All health care & social service organizations serving any population in Orange, Windsor, Sullivan and southern Grafton counties are welcome to join our monthly virtual meeting.
