Delivering Impact in 2022

We design and implement solutions to advance the health of individuals with fewer financial resources and those that have been disenfranchised by the health care system. Our work is focused on four areas – all conducted through the lens of health equity.

We work directly with health care service providers and payers on quality and practice transformation to transform service delivery and performance.
We advance public health programs through applied research and evaluation, program implementation, data analytics, and marketing and communications.
We integrate between the public health sector and service delivery sector (e.g., those who deliver health-related services – providers, payers, community organizations, etc.) to “connect the dots”.
We scale health infrastructure and enable the health ecosystem to operate at scale and be interoperable across silos and stakeholders.
