Wider Circle

Wider Circle is a neighborhood-based health organization dedicated to empowering community members to lead happier, healthier lives. It partners with health plans and physician groups to offer both in-person and virtual programs tailored to individuals with similar interests and life experiences.

Their flagship initiative, the Connect for Life® program, fosters community engagement through weekly events and topics that members can choose from. This promotes social connections and proactive health management.

Peer-Based Healthcare Approach

The organization employs a peer-based approach by connecting members with familiar neighbors to inform, support, and motivate one another. This model reduces hospitalizations, improves health outcomes, and decreases social isolation.

Wider Circle’s services address the last mile of healthcare by building neighborhood groups that empower members to support each other in accessing needed care.

The service is free, easy to use, and confidential, providing support directly through mobile phones.
