Frameworks for Advancing Health Equity: Wellness Way
The Wellness Way facility was designed to improve access to comprehensive outpatient care and address social determinants of health for a diverse patient population.
This episode of Managed Care Cast from The American Journal of Managed Care® is part of the Frameworks for Advancing Health Equity series from the Center on Health Equity and Access, setting the stage for a deep dive into program initiatives across the US dedicated to mitigating health care disparities by closing the accessibility gap.
