Building a Smarter Healthcare System
Build Systems Based
On Determinants of Health
Adressing the drivers of poor health early improves outcomes and reduces long-term costs.
We learned valuable lessons running FamilyCare Health Plans for more than 30 years. Our proven track record shows that addressing the social, economic, and behavioral drivers of health improves outcomes while reducing costs. Now, as an independent non-profit, we're committed to sharing these insights and helping transform the healthcare system.
Creating Healthier Communities Requires Whole-Person Care
Integrating behavioral health, preventive care, and education creates lasting wellness
Better health outcomes start with understanding the whole person—their mental health, living conditions, education, and access to care. By addressing these interconnected factors early and developing innovative support systems, we can build healthier communities while reducing healthcare costs across Oregon.
