PROBLEM

SOLUTION

Healthcare costs in rural areas run higher than costs in more urban settings.

Focus on underserved areas with a shortage of providers.

Instances of chronic disease such as Diabetes, Heart Disease, and COPD run significantly  higher in rural areas than in urban areas.

Invest in the necessary physical and digital infrastructure to improve patient outcomes.
