Population health management is a free service offered to the community that encompasses not only the chronic medical needs of each individual, but also the psychological, social, and financial needs. This complete perspective is attained through the use of health and wellness coaching, care management and care transitions.
Our team includes patient care coordinators, licensed social workers, registered nurse care coordinator/discharge planners, registered nurse care managers and our Belfast Public Health nurse.
We are always working on developing initiatives and services to promote the improvement of health among the population in our area, and we will continue to work with with local agencies and partnerships to achieve shared Population Health improvement outcomes.
