In the SPARC model, there is community-wide access to routine clinical preventive services. In addition to measures delivered in the clinical setting, residents receive routine vaccinations, screenings, and screening referrals from multiple locations in the community. SPARC helps organize and coordinate these activities, gathers and distributes outcomes data, and develops new outreach programs in collaboration with local medical, public health, and social service agencies.
