Rooted in Impact

Law offices

An example of how Rooted In Impact can help your clients:

Situation
A Client was injured in a serious car accident and hired a personal injury attorney to handle their case. While the legal team worked to secure compensation, the Client faced a major hurdle. With no income during recovery and no family nearby, reliable transportation was out of reach and they couldn’t get to their medical appointments. 

Missing appointments risked both their health and the strength of their legal case

Rooted In Impact’s Action

The attorney’s office brought in Rooted In Impact as a consultant who connected the Client with community transportation services that provided free and reduced-cost rides for medical visits. Rooted In Impact also helped the Client apply for a temporary mobility assistance program until their settlement came through.

The Impact
The Client was able to attend every appointment, stay on track with their recovery plan, and provide the consistent medical documentation the legal team needed. For the attorney, this meant a stronger case with fewer delays and reduced time spent troubleshooting non-legal client issues.

Why It Matters
Social workers relieve attorneys from the burden of managing client life challenges by:

• Connecting clients to essential resources like transportation.
• Helping ensure clients comply with treatment plans that strengthen their case.
• Saving firms time and money by reducing case delays and non-billable client support.

Medical Clinics & Home Health Companies

An example of how Rooted In Impact can help your patients:

Situation
A 54 year old Patient with Type 2 diabetes takes their medication as prescribed, but their blood sugar levels remain unstable. When asked about their diet, the Patient shares that they rely on inexpensive, processed meals. 

Rooted In Impact’s Action

By taking the time to understand the Patient’s daily challenges and limited income, Rooted In Impact connected them with a local food pantry that offers fresh produce, assisted them in submitting an application for a government food program, and provided nutrition resources tailored to their needs.

The Impact
With consistent access to healthier food, the Patient’s blood sugar levels improved and their urgent calls to the clinic decreased. For the medical team, this meant fewer avoidable hospitalizations, smoother care management, and stronger patient trust.

Why It Matters
While doctors focus on treatment, social workers address barriers outside the exam room like food, housing, or transportation that directly affect health. For clinics and home health agencies, integrating a social worker means:

• More holistic, person-centered care.
• Better outcomes for patients with chronic conditions.
• Lower costs through reduced readmissions.
