San Diego Healthcare Quality Collaborative

What they do & why we invested

Be There San Diego, the organization that oversees the San Diego Healthcare Quality Collaborative (SDHQC), is a coalition of patients, communities, healthcare systems, and others working together to prevent heart attacks and strokes. SDHQC aims to improve population health in San Diego by engaging communities and patients, linking communities and clinical settings, spreading evidence-based best practices in healthcare teams, and transforming healthcare systems. SDHQC plans to use the loan to supplement their cash flow—reduced or delayed due to COVID-19—to continue to pay their community partners and contractors. This will allow their partners to ramp up services and continue enrollment.
