Passion for Helping Those in Need
Carrie and Jen are passionate about helping those in need of healthcare, particularly those in rural areas.

The Collaborative Effort to Tackle Healthcare Disparities
Jen and Carrie also discuss the collaborative effort between Homeward Health and Priority Health to tackle healthcare disparities. They explain the importance of focusing on integrated care and removing barriers to care for all patients. Priority Health supports value-based care, allowing Homeward Health to practice the best care that will shift patient's health outcomes. They also emphasize the importance of social determinants of health in achieving health equity.
