What kinds of organizations can partner with CBB?

Hospitals, clinics, schools, nonprofits, public agencies, civic groups, faith communities, businesses, and service providers can all contact CBB about partnership ideas. The best fit depends on what patients need and what the organization can offer.

Can partners refer someone for services?

Yes, but the process depends on the service. We can administer many services after a walk-in appointment. CareHouse referrals must come from hospital staff.

What makes a useful partnership?

A useful partnership solves a specific problem. It may help patients get care sooner, leave the hospital more safely, obtain documents, receive supplies, or take a next step beyond a simple phone number.

Can businesses become partners?

Yes. Businesses can support outreach, fundraising events, supply drives, employee volunteer efforts, and more. CBB can discuss options that match current needs rather than asking a business to guess what would be the best way to help.

How should an organization start?

Start by contacting CBB with the problem you want to help solve and the support you can offer. A community health partner in Kansas City should bring clarity, not more confusion. The first conversation helps both sides decide whether the idea is practical.

Can CBB partner with organizations that already serve people experiencing homelessness?

Yes. Some partnerships work best when the other organization already has trust with the people we serve. As a community health partner in Kansas City, CBB can provide expert advice, coordinate care, and support outreach efforts without replacing the work that the partner already does.

Partnership Support

Referral Pathways

How Partnerships Work

Why Our Partnerships Are Different

Partnerships help patients who need it most.

Patient Focus

CBB offers services with the patients in mind, so before we get started, we need to determine whether a partnership can address needs patients actually have.

Clear Communication

We make sure each partner knows who to contact, what details matter, and what the next step should be.

Knowledge & Expertise

CBB spends time out in the community, so they understand the best way to take advantage of partner resources.

Who Partnerships Help

Partnering with CBB offers sponsors a way to make a true difference in their community.

Hospitals

Hospital teams may need a discharge option, referral path, or medical respite conversation for patients with nowhere safe to recover. At Care Beyond the Boulevard, we can provide the care patients need.

Nonprofits

Other nonprofits often see the same people we serve, but at a different end of the system. When organizations communicate, staff members can determine what treatments may have failed in the past and which may offer favorable results.

Schools & Groups

Schools, universities, churches, civic groups, and community organizations may support fundraising events, volunteer efforts, or donation drives. CBB helps point eager volunteers in the right direction.

Public Agencies

Public health departments and local agencies can work with CBB on overdose prevention, clinics, outreach, health fairs, and other efforts that reach people outside traditional care settings.

"I can't begin to tell you how much of a blessing this place has been..."

- Misty S.

“I can’t begin to tell you how much of a blessing this place has been for my dad. Ms. Virginia and Alfredo were quick to assist us when he needed temporary housing. None of this would have been possible without Ms. Beth from Healthy Blue and her suggestion that I contact Care Beyond the Blvd. They provided medical care, food, and clothing and even sent us home with a care package for Dad’s new apartment. They have gone above and beyond for us, and the program is amazing! I’m sure it’ll be a blessing to many more. Thank you again! I cannot say it enough.”

- Lee A.

“What a great service! Awesome to see medical care, the food mobile from Church of the Resurrection, and Kansas State veterinary care all available in one place. The need is real. The Care Beyond the Boulevard clinic is in the back (south) of the Independence Boulevard Christian Church.”

- Becky N.

“I had taken my 9-month-pregnant, non-English-speaking Honduran mother and her six-year-old child to get the mother dental care last week. The wait was long, greater than three hours, but very revealing as to the care provided. A diverse population, from the homeless to acting-out schizophrenics to individuals well known to the clinic who were called by their names…everyone was treated “nice,” as my Honduran neighbor replied to me in Spanish via her phone translator.
I found the care of each respectful, compassionate, and individualized according to each person’s needs, from size 9 1/2 shoes to bottled water and snacks as each waited to be seen. A volunteer translated English to Spanish as my friend was examined by the dentist, was given meds to heal her two “badly infected” teeth, and instructions to return in one week to have those teeth extracted…and after delivery of her baby, to return to have her last two wisdom teeth extracted.
All the care was offered and given without any pressure for payment. Having been a nurse for 47 years and now retired, I was so thankful to witness the “care beyond the boulevard”…I realized that I had only known “care on the boulevard” during my years of service in health care.
Bless all involved in the work done at this clinic.”

“Care Beyond the Boulevard gave me somewhere safe to recover from surgery after my right shoulder was replaced, and I was able to have my dog with me to comfort me during my recovery. I honestly feel that I owe my life to the people who work there.”

- Tony H.

“These angels disguised as volunteers perform free medical services for anyone who comes in, without an appointment. They are understanding and patient. Some over-the-counter meds are available, but they can work with you to wade through the government programs to get you a prescription.”
