IMPaCT Care Welcomes Michael Monson as Strategic Advisor
Nationally Recognized Healthcare Leader Joins Advisory Board as IMPaCT Care Accelerates Growth and Expands National Partnerships
IMPaCT Care, the category-defining community health worker (CHW) company, today welcomed Michael Monson to its Advisory Board.
As margin pressures and clinician shortages continue to force health plans and health systems to find new ways to deliver care, the number of healthcare organizations employing CHWs has tripled. Evidence-based CHW programs deliver twice the patient engagement at a fraction of the cost of a clinical care manager. Yet many CHW programs struggle due to a lack of standardization, technology infrastructure, and outcomes accountability. IMPaCT Care’s CHW operating system provides health plans and health systems with the expertise, tools, and technology to launch, manage, and scale evidence-based CHW programs, validated by three randomized controlled trials demonstrating significant impacts on health, quality and utilization.
Monson's appointment comes as IMPaCT Care continues to sign national contracts with leading health plans and systems. “IMPaCT Care is doing exactly what the healthcare system needs more of: meeting consumers where they are and enabling community health workers to improve people’s health and lives,” said Monson. “I’ve spent my career identifying and scaling solutions to serve complex, underserved populations. Community health workers are the only Social Determinants of Health solution that has repeatedly been demonstrated to work, and IMPaCT Care is the clear leader in this space.”
