How does AndHealth work with community health centers?

About 80% of the country lacks adequate access to healthcare. With the mission of bringing comprehensive specialty care to patients and communities who need it, we partner with Community Health Centers (CHCs) operating in these areas. These partnerships help us extend the reach of specialty care to patients struggling with access, while allowing CHCs to offer our services to their existing patients.

What is whole-person healthcare?

Symptoms of every health concern are due to unique personal factors, including lifestyle, physiological function, genetics, trauma and environment. Whole-person healthcare focuses on identifying the causes of symptoms and resolving them at the source. This approach treats an entire individual, allowing healthcare professionals to develop strategies for managing conditions effectively.
