Service Navigation involves working one-on-one with people to assist them in accessing the information and services that best meet their needs. Linkage has four Service Navigators located at their Greenwood St office.
The process begins with identifying the person’s needs and identifying appropriate services. Contact with these services is then facilitated as appropriate. The client receives follow up contact to ascertain if needs have been met by the service. If this is not the case alternative services or courses of action are recommended. Throughout the process the Webhealth website is used as an essential tool to locate appropriate services and information and clients are educated and encouraged to use Webhealth to find their own solutions for future issues they may have.
