Changent President and CEO Charlotte Min-Harris was recently a featured guest on Outcomes – Where Healthcare Strategy Meets Social Impact, hosted by Christina Rodriguez. Part of The Fundable 15 platform, Outcomes is designed for healthcare leaders, innovators, and strategists who understand that investing in social care is not only the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do.
Each episode highlights the ROI of upstream interventions, explores systems driving health equity, and examines the bold strategies needed to transform healthcare. Through real-world case studies, insider insights, and conversations with frontline experts, Christina draws on her experience as an ER social worker and healthcare strategist to show how advocacy and prevention can strengthen communities while delivering measurable results.
In her interview, Charlotte represented Changent, its programs, and the organization’s recent rebrand with insight and clarity. She discussed the impact of Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First, emphasizing how prevention is both compassionate care and a sound investment in community health.
Here are some standout moments from her conversation:
- “Home visiting, and our evidence-based programs, help bridge the divide around access to care that happens in a doctor’s office — with an opportunity to be able to create trusted relationships to support both medical care, from a physical standpoint, but also from a mental health standpoint, with our two programs: Nurse-Family Partnership and Child First.”
- “We know that 80% of what matters for health happens outside those doctor offices — they happen in homes, in schools, in jobs, and in communities.”
- “Prevention isn’t just about being compassionate and saving lives — it is a good business decision. It is a smart investment strategy for society as a whole.”
- “These programs are grounded in evidence, but they’re driven by relationships and trust.”
- “How do we bring children and families back toward opportunity? It’s through access to care — to have an opportunity to address issues up front, trusting who you are addressing those issues with, and feeling like they have your back. To know you are important, you are heard, and that you are valued. That’s why home visiting — as a prevention and intervention model — is part of that solution.”
