In September 2015, we enrolled a 70-year-old patient in our Pathways<\/em> program. He was suffering from an array of chronic conditions, including asthma, diabetes, COPD, pneumonia, and dementia, which led to multiple falls and ER visits. As you can imagine, he required supervision 24 hours a day. Diane, the MD Value Care health coach assigned to the patient\u2019s case, immediately worked to resolve his medication discrepancies by discussing them with his primary care physician. Our licensed social worker, Linda, assisted the patient in applying for respite care from the Alzheimer\u2019s Association, walked him through the process of applying for Medicaid, and even coordinated with an organization to have a wheelchair ramp built at the patient\u2019s residence. I am proud to share that after five months of getting the support he needed in the Pathways<\/em> program, the patient has graduated and is now visiting the Program of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) four days a week. He has also been approved to receive Medicaid personal care. Both the patient and his family are grateful for the great improvements to his health and well-being that the Pathways<\/em> program has helped him achieve.<\/p>\n
