Meet Patrina. She has multiple chronic health conditions and an ongoing back injury which keep her from working. Patrina turned to her Upward Health Care Team for help with her physical, behavioral, and social health needs. Tune in to hear her story.

Upward Health is working with Aetna, a CVS Health Company, in Arizona to launch our whole-person model of care to a cohort of Aetna Medicare Advantage members who have multiple, chronic health conditions. Our team works seamlessly with members’ existing provider teams, or directly with members without an established provider, to improve coordination and access to care primarily through a home-based care setting. The goal of the collaboration is to improve the health and well-being of this Medicare population with a focus on delivering preventive care in the community to keep members healthy. Improving access to care and offering high-quality care is what we do best.

#WeLearn at Upward Health! Last week we kicked off a series of trainings for some of our Care Specialists in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, LA. Jennifer Zahn and Victoria Abel, MBA, PMP, CBPP led trainings focused on needs-based approaches to providing care to our patients to optimize every touchpoint. Our training team is headed to San Francisco next 👋!

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! We asked a few of our team members how they take moments to prioritize their mental health. Check out what Kahiem Hargrove, Summer Ortiz, MBA, SHRM-SCP, and Tahirah M. Ellis, MPH, CHES had to say. #TakeAMentalHealthMoment

Check out what Seth Zuckerman had to say about how the healthcare industry is embracing risk in contracts at MedCity News's INVEST conference 👇.

Value-based care, which ties the amount health care providers earn to the results of the care they deliver to patients, focuses on quality, provider performance, and the patient experience. At Upward Health, our goal of elevating quality, outcomes, and the patient experience aligns seamlessly with value-based care. We sat down with two members of our Executive Team, Ben Hamawy and Seth Zuckerman, and asked them a few questions on #vbc. Here's what they had to say about one of the most discussed topics in healthcare today.
