We recognize that many of our customers, particularly seniors, are managing multiple chronic conditions. Our integrated care delivery model, which leverages both high-tech tools like data analytics and personalized, low-tech interactions such as in-home visits, allows us to predict, slow, and sometimes even prevent disease progression.
