Bringing healthcare, resources and support closer to the people who need them.
For 20 years, Malta House of Care has gone where the need is, bringing free healthcare directly into Greater Hartford communities. Now, as we begin our next 20 years, a new Malta van is getting ready to hit the road.
Beginning in January 2027, the van will support Malta House of Care’s Community Health Access & Resource Coordination Initiative, a new project focused on improving health outcomes for uninsured adults in East Hartford.
With support from The Cigna Group Foundation, a Community Health Access Navigator will help patients overcome barriers to care by connecting them with resources for food, housing, behavioral health services, benefits assistance, transportation and other needs.
The initiative recognizes that good health depends on more than medical care alone. By connecting healthcare with community resources and transportation support, Malta can help patients access preventive care, better manage chronic conditions and avoid health crises.
It’s an exciting next step for Malta, continuing to meet people where they are and helping our uninsured neighbors lead healthier, more stable lives.
The purchase of Malta House of Care’s new van was made possible with financial support from the State of Connecticut, Department of Social Services.
Supported by The Cigna Group Foundation, a private foundation that supports organizations sharing its commitment to improve the health and vitality of individuals and the communities.
