Today, we break down barriers to change and connect people who want to solve these problems, bringing policy makers, funders, thought leaders, clinicians and patients to the table to build solutions together. Working with our partners to bring life to great ideas, we use these ideas to create change through sustainable, shareable practices. Our team’s values are foundational to how we approach our work, which include : Ensure equity and access, Collaborate and partner, Innovate with intention, and Scale, spread and sustain.

Connected Care changes the way that care is delivered and experienced. We do this through driving care integration and digital enablement. Our teams deploy models of care, clinical services, and digital infrastructure to address key gaps in the health system.
