Collaborative Healthcare The St. Louis Integrated Health Network (IHN) is a collaborative hub connecting community health centers, hospitals, academic medical schools, and public health departments to expand access and quality of care, indicating a strong potential for partnerships with health systems seeking integrated care solutions and care coordination support.

Community Referral Program IHN operates the Community Referral Coordinator program within hospital settings to link inpatients and ED patients to primary care providers, presenting opportunities to offer patient navigation, care transition services, IT-enabled referral optimization, and data analytics to improve follow-up rates.

Growth via Grants Recent CDC-funded initiatives and university partnerships (notably Washington University with a multi-year grant) suggest a readiness to scale programs through large grants, creating a pathway for collaborators to propose joint grant-ready solutions, program evaluations, and implementation support.

Tech Stack Leverage IHN utilizes a modern tech stack (Salesforce, Drupal/WordPress, Cloudflare, The Trade Desk, Microsoft 365) which signals openness to Martech, data integration, patient engagement platforms, and digital marketing or data analytics services to enhance outreach and care coordination.

Public Health Impact With a history of addressing urgent needs such as formula shortages through community initiatives like Feed the Babies and state-wide prenatal care expansion, there is a sales angle for social determinants of health programs, population health management, and federally funded or state-funded health access projects.
