Serving those who deserve it most
Our opportunity
More than 25% of these seniors live in communities where access is a challenge — smaller hospitals are closing or consolidating, specialists are often long distances away and primary care providers are retiring rapidly. Virtual care, while valuable, remains limited by broadband access and does not replace the benefits of trusted local care.
These communities also tend to have lower Medicare Advantage participation levels, which means fewer benefits to those patients. Studies show that seniors living in these communities experience:
33%
higher prevalence of multiple chronic conditions
27%
higher prevalence of diabetes
20%
higher prevalence of obesity
40%
higher prevalence of chronic heart failure
26%
higher mortality rate
