“The amount of need within communities we serve has been increasing year over year and became especially acute during the pandemic. We stretch every one of our dollars to meet the needs of the community and pay our staff a fair wage for the demanding, important work they do. One of the only ways to enhance services that meet increased community need is through value-based arrangements and the shared understanding that there is tremendous opportunity within the health system to provide for better outcomes and better cost solutions. But first we have to think differently about the system and the role of community-based organizations in the system. This only gets done with strong partners like Quantified Ventures, Humana, and Volunteers of America bringing their best skills and attributes to the table and working with one another to achieve the system transformation we seek. One of the things I appreciate most about our partnership with Quantified Ventures is our shared mission – at the end of the day we are focused on providing services to support healthy individuals and healthy communities.”
