The "non-profit safety net" is becoming far more integrated with public and commercial sources of care. Part of the reason why is the failure of our system to adequately address community health and healthcare. The rising tide of uninsured and other factors is leading to a fundamental change in direction.

One area of promise is in fact, tapping into the myriad faith-based networks that individuals and families often rely on as a last resort. Yet as the ranks of America's 45 million uninsured seek this charitable venue, even these community resources are being tested. As this occurs, cooperation among charitable organizations is mandatory. This involves isolating services duplication, better use of technology and greater cooperation with public and commercial institutions.

All sides of the spectrum for helping people in need must come to the table. And this is what CCN attempts to do. Without leaning on non-profit or government funding, CCN attempts to engage "corporates" (financial institutions, others) to solve this dilemma. CCN embeds technology that supports greater community coordination and focus on health challenges. This includes supporting eligibility inquiries, initiating referrals and supporting funds transfers.

Finally, the Internet TV component - SHARENET.TV - is being designed to strengthen community programs by providing a venue for more effective marketing; using a non-biased charity news programming format.
