17 CHAs have served over 1,900 patients and created 3,600 referrals. The top referral types vary by region, as each region has a diverse population with specific social needs. The program start dates and number of practices/CHAs vary by region, impacting total volume in some areas.

A patient may have more than one referral. The CHA program in Sacramento was the first to launch and has more CHAs than the other regions, which contributes to its higher volume of patients and referrals. Bold values are for totals across all regions.
