Quad Cities Open Network

The quad cities open network (qcon) is a collaboration of public service agencies collaborating to increase community well-being through a strong human services sector. Qcon maintains iris, an accessible community database for connecting people to resources and streamlining referrals so agencies can prioritize quad citizens. This database, paired with traditional research practices, assists qcon in collecting data to identify gaps and overlaps in the sector. Qcon aims to transparently share planning data with the community and sector. At qcon's foundation lies the hub, supporting collaborative efforts, conversation facilitation, iris, and information repository. Collaboration, coordination, choices, and community are the organization's core values. Collaboration and coordination are how the hub as a network operates. Qcon seeks to provide people choices through addressing social determinates of health, and the value of community informs projects undertaken.
