Problem
Underserved communities often face significant gaps in access to consistent primary care, mental health support, and essential social resources, leading to poorer health outcomes and higher healthcare costs.

By addressing both medical and social determinants of health, Cityblock aims to improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and lower overall healthcare costs for its members.
