In Wisconsin, I just witnessed a powerful example of what healthcare can look like.A care team model that truly centers the patient: where Community Health Workers are embedded into primary care, and providers have the time to build real relationships. The result? Better outcomes. Deeper trust. Real change.This is the difference between fee-for-service and value-based care. When systems prioritize value, they create space for connection: and that’s where healing happens.Virginia, take note: We must embed and compensate Community Health Workers as a standard of care. Not as an add-on: but as essential.Watch around minute 4:20: this is where the “why” becomes undeniable.“People don’t just need care: they need a team that sees them.”youtu.be/dcNPAKm16Kg?si=JpsiFQw_9PXq0CMI#CommunityHealthWorkers #ValueBasedCare #HealthEquity #VACHWA ...
