Be part of the solution. Our current healthcare system often fails, despite herculean efforts on the part of clinicians, too often fails to provide coordinated, seamless care. We know there is a better way. Our collaborative care model integrates care across multiple disciplines and locations, ensuring the patient is the focus. We care for medically complex patients both in the hospital and part of their primary care team.
