PCIC hosted a two-day workshop focused on our “Values-Based Care Model”. Participants were provided with cognitive-behavioral and complex trauma frameworks to gain a greater understanding of why complex patients behave in ways that seem self-destructive.
PCIC's founders, Dr. David S. Buck and Kallol Mahata were featured on 3M's Inside Angle podcast from 3M Health Information Systems.

At the heart of complex care is identification: Where and how do we find the most vulnerable patients? When our team started studying individuals in Houston who tend to overuse emergency department and inpatient visits, we realized our community was siloed in its approaches.
Ms. Charlott has made significant improvements in managing her health since being featured as our June Human of Healthcare.
Before enlisting the help of PCIC, she found herself being shuffled around multiple doctors to find a diagnosis. The lack of communication between providers only caused her to start losing energy and hope of ever recovering from her illnesses. If it were not for her dedication to getting better, her support system made of family and PCIC, and her faith, she would have given in to her illness.
"When I came into this program it was like, really, really, how can I say this, at a time I needed support. My closest family member is 1,500 miles away. I was going through something, and the next thing I know, these wonderful people show up on my doorstep, and it was like they were basically more than just a support group for me to gain and get my health together. They have been there for me, when I say, they have shared good positive tears, tears of joy…they have been there for me. I really appreciate it… This is what the outcome has been for me so far, and I know it’s going to get a lot better." says Trondail.
