Welcome to the YCCO Community Resource Fair!
Service Integration Team
What is Service Integration (SI)
SI is a way to facilitate collaboration among community partners to provide coordinated resources and discuss local needs.
Collectively, SI community partners work to improve overall health and well -being of Yamhill County residents by matching resources to clearly defined needs while avoiding duplication of service.
