Centura Health has established an integrated network of 198 physicians in 13 Colorado communities that it said will move beyond “traditional reactive sick care” to a consumer-centric model that advances wellness services with a focus on keeping people healthy.
The Englewood, Colo.-based system, which is a partnership between Adventist Health System and Catholic Health Initiatives, refers to the communities in the network as “health neighborhoods,” built on physician-led teams providing convenient, evidence-based care. The network will be comprised of 32 primary-care practices as well as 96 primary-care doctors and 102 specialty physicians.
“Through the health neighborhood approach, Centura Health is leveraging its statewide network to move past the bricks-and-mortar model of traditional, reactive healthcare, shifting the entire paradigm of healthcare delivery to meet the population health needs, bringing greater value to consumers,” Gary Campbell, Centura Health president and CEO, said in a news release.
