title: Process evaluation of the Community Support Connections merger.
abstract: Community Support Connections (CSC) is the result of the merger of four private not-for-profit community health care agencies.

As of this writing, more than one year into the merger, managers, staff and volunteers believe that the goals of serving more clients more completely through case management are being achieved.
