The Community Initiative (TCI) was created in the mountains of Utah right outside of Salt Lake City. During the lockdown, due to Covid, in the Spring of 2020, was the first time in 15 years of marriage to a Social Worker, I actually paid attention to how difficult my wife’s job is. As we shared an office together for months, I noticed she spent what seemed like hundreds of hours looking for and reviewing places, services and needs for each patient she had so they could move on to the next phase of their treatment. I quickly noticed she had a large 3 ring binder. She kept important documents of places of various community services and resources such as skilled nursing facilities, hospice companies and even ancillary services, funeral homes, AA meeting places and additional services she had to search for. I started to research online if any company had a compressive library of all the needed resources that my wife had collected in her twenty plus years of being a Social Worker. I could not find a place that had all of what she needed in just one place with little effort to obtain and retain the patient’s needs. That is when The Community Initiative was born. https://calendly.com/caseez
