Peak Military Care Network

Joining Community Forces15 July 2015

Peak Military Care Network (PMCN)

MISSION

To connect the needs of our community’s military service members, veterans and their families to the highest quality resources by providing a central source for information, navigation and integrated services.

VISION

Health and well-being for all military service members, veterans, their families and the communities of the Pikes Peak region.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the PMCN is to create bridges across systems that improve access, leverage resources, build collaboration and ensure the highest standards of care for all military service members, veterans and their families.

PMCN Goals & Objectives

1. Provide centralized information and assistance

2. Increase awareness of, and access to, community resources

3. Facilitate/streamline connections to resources

4. Build a collaborative network of partner agencies

5. Increase understanding of military and veteran culture

6. Provide broad-based leadership and serve as a leading resource for the community

7. Improve outcomes for individuals and families and the communities of the Pikes Peak region

How We Meet Our Goals & Objectives

“It helps me as a

veteran because

everything is

going to be in

one area so I can

find what I need

for education,

disability, what I

might need for

my family, job

opportunities...n

ow I can go to

this one (place)

and get it done

at once." Ruth,

Army Veteran

How We Meet Our Goals & Objectives27 partner agencies to-date; serving 25,000+ service members, veterans and their families across a full spectrum of needs

*Results of PMCN professional development evaluation, December 2014 (Peak Research)

With PMCN, “I can connect with fifteen organizations that want to work with me. I couldn’t do it in any other forum.

We’re doing more information sharing, opening up direct communication channels.” Kevin Walda, Assistant Director,

Veterans Upward Bound


6. Provide broad-based leadership and serve as a leading resource for the community (through the PMCN Advisory Board)


• Nearly 300 calls to PMCN Call Center between January and June 2015

• 92% of callers – veterans

• 46% of callers – Post-9/11 veterans

• 62% of callers rank was E1-E4

• 31% of callers rank was E5-E6

• 75% sought financial assistance (food, utilities, etc.)

• 11% sought housing assistance (rent, homelessness)

• 7% connected to navigation services for multiple/complex needs

7. Improve outcomes

for individuals

and families and the

communities of the Pikes Peak region:

“The Peak Military Care Network (PMCN) is key in assisting our service members and their families in countless ways. As a nation, we put our service members in harm’s way; they have done their jobs; now it is time for us to do ours. The PMCN provides this support that is so richly deserved by these great American heroes.” Mark A. Graham, Major General, USA (Ret)

PMCN: A Community Force MultiplierCommunity “in-processing” & reintegration

• Network of Care website – comprehensive services in one location

• PMCN Call Center – personalized assistance/advocacy and “triage” in partnership with Pikes Peak United Way/2-1-1

• PMCN partner agencies – working together to understand and meet needs and streamline access to multiple services

• Increased awareness of and access to available resources

A central source for

trusted information

• Partnership with Rocky Mountain Human services for longer term support; “warm hand-off” and follow-up focused on outcomes for individual/family

• Proactive navigation support for transitioning service members/families in development

Navigation assistance

• A holistic approach to address complex/interrelated needs

• A coordinated system of care, instead of fragmented, piecemeal assistance, supports family stability and community health and well-being

Integrated services

PMCN’s Impact

“We need pretty much

every kind of support

there is: educational,

vocational and

financial. Soldiers

should know about all

of these things that

are out there to help.

It is stressful trying to

get a job in this

economy and get set

up in school. If I hadn’t

had all of this lined up

and organized the way

I did, I would have

been totally lost.”

Brian, Army Veteran

Health and well-being for service members, veterans and their families – and the communities in the region

Economic benefits through cost-avoidance and leveraging resources:

• Cost savings by reducing behavioral health hospitalizations and veteran homelessness

• Increased tax base and decreased costs to DoD/state government for unemployment benefits

• Support for children and families (every $1 spent on early care and education results in $7 in economic benefits to the community)

Service members remain focused on mission because community supports full needs of families

PMCN’s Ongoing/Next Steps

Expansion of Services

• Additional partner agencies; access to more services

• Call-in assistance to triage/connect to services

• More (and more proactive) navigation support

Enhanced Outreach & Awareness

• Trainings – for community and providers

• Information-sharing – to learn from each other

• Outreach to service members, veterans and family members

• Continued engagement of military and community leadership –facilitating connections

• Program evaluation/outcomes measurements (at systems, program and individual level)

Securing Sustainable Funding Sources

• Key community partners

“The Police Department interacts with the military/veteran community every day in a variety of circumstances. The work PMCN does for our military makes our jobs a little easier.” Pete Carey, Chief of Police, City of Colorado Springs
