Health Equity

Equitable access to care means you are receiving the right care, in the right place, at the right time no matter who you are or what your care needs are. 

• Hired consultants to assess NMC’s needs for better serving out patients and staff with equity. 
• Better utilize data to understand who we treat and their experiences and outcomes to improve how we serve folks of every identity and background.
• Better understand the whole person to find strategies that care for the whole person 

Annual Wellness Visits (AWV)

Medicare offers FREE Preventative Annual Wellness Visits for people over the age of 65. This yearly appointment with your provider focuses on preventing illness & disease, while assessing your health risks. Your AWV is mostly a simple conversation with a qualified healthcare professional. It’s your chance to discuss your personal health goals, plan for prevention, and identify risks.

Transitions of Care

Being readmitted to the hospital after discharge is not beneficial for anyone, least of all our friends, neighbors, and family members. The Population Health Team is working collaboratively with the hospital, area agencies, and primary care providers and their care teams to ensure health care transitions are safe, effective, and reduce any gaps in service delivery and cross agency communications. We do this by leveraging relationships, supporting the care teams with communication strategies, and by identifying any quality improvement opportunities at the Health Service Area level that can improve transitions.
