The Good Fruit Foundation is proud to announce that HealthySoul Whole Person Wellness has been selected as an awarded participant in the Constellation Regional Learning Collaborative (CRLC). This high-impact technical assistance collaboration—led by Constellation Quality Health—is part of a prestigious, five-year cooperative agreement funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The initiative is specifically designed to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) disparities, advance health equity, and optimize blood pressure control across the Southeastern United States. 

What is the CRLC Program & Its Goals?The Constellation Regional Learning Collaborative (CRLC) is a top-tier regional initiative that unites forward-thinking healthcare providers, public health entities, and community-based organizations. Operating under a shared mission to prevent, detect, and manage hypertension and CVD, the collaborative aims to: 

• Equip Teams with Practical Interventions: Deploying proven, evidence-based practices to improve heart health outcomes. 
• Advance Health Equity: Systematically identifying and resolving the social, structural, and systemic barriers (SDOH) that impact patient health. 
• Foster Coordinated Team-Based Care: Strengthening clinical-to-community links to build sustainable, multi-disciplinary health networks. 
• Utilize Continuous Quality Improvement: Leveraging dedicated coaching from health equity, clinical, and quality improvement specialists to refine care delivery models.

How This Alliance Strengthens HealthySoul’s Work

Participating in the CRLC directly elevates the excellence, safety, and scalability of the HealthySoul program, managed by GraceHub. This technical collaboration reinforces our community-engaged lifestyle medicine approach in three distinct ways: 

1. Elite Quality Improvement Coaching: HealthySoul’s operational workflows benefit from direct coaching from Constellation’s data analysts, nurses, and health policy experts. This ensures our daily patient navigation meets rigorous clinical standards.
2. Validated Change Roadmaps: Through the CRLC Change Packet framework, we integrate regional best practices for managing hypertension and obesity into our lifestyle medicine pillars, optimizing our success rate in lowering participant cardiovascular risks. 
3. Data-Driven Clinical Credibility: Aligning our closed-loop Thrive Hub software with the clinical insights gained from the CRLC establishes HealthySoul as a highly sophisticated, risk-stratified vendor. This framework gives commercial health plans, private donors, and federal grant funders absolute confidence in our measurable health outcomes and operational return on investment (ROI).

By learning alongside regional leaders through the Constellation Regional Collaborative, HealthySoul is proud to be at the forefront of clinical-to-community innovation, proving that lifestyle medicine is the ultimate catalyst for cardiovascular health equity in rural South Carolina.
