Community health extends beyond the walls of a clinic. It begins with reaching people, understanding their needs, and helping them take the next step toward care.”

PURCELLVILLE, VA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — HealthTalk A.I. presented its inaugural 2026 Innovation for Community Impact Award to MedCura Health at HealthTalk A.I. CONNECT 2026. The award recognizes how the metro Atlanta health center used the HealthTalk A.I. platform to connect people with preventive care, school-based healthcare, and community resources.

Jen Calohan, RN, TQMP, SOLC, LSSBB, Chief Operating Officer of HealthTalk A.I., presented the award to Denatras Silas, Chief Information Officer of MedCura Health. The inaugural leadership summit brought healthcare leaders together to share how their organizations are improving patient access and engagement.

“Each of these efforts starts with a simple idea: community health extends beyond the walls of a clinic,” Calohan said in her award remarks. “It begins with reaching people, understanding their needs, and helping them take the next step toward care.”

MedCura used HealthTalk A.I.’s AI patient engagement platform to invite men to a community event offering prostate cancer screening during Men’s Health Month. Its outreach also included ophthalmology and gastroenterology campaigns and helped connect families with back-to-school events where children received free backpacks and school supplies.

MedCura makes it easier for people to become patients through its digital front door and helps families register for school-based healthcare. To support its quality improvement efforts, the team reminds patients when preventive services are due and lets them schedule care in the same conversation. MedCura also uses the platform to gather patient feedback and identify ways to improve the care experience.
