Strategically Collaborating to Transform Healthcare
Dana Dowdell, Chief Operations Officer, and Cynthia Przekop, Director of Clinical Operations, recently joined the Eastern CT Healthcare Partnership to represent ECHO.
On May 15th, they were pleased to attend the Connecticut Health Council’s Annual Healthcare Summit: Strategic Collaborations for Transformative Healthcare.
This year’s summit was tailored for healthcare executives, policymakers, health insurance leaders, and stakeholders seeking to deepen their knowledge of value-based care and explore how strategic collaboration can drive improved health outcomes and greater equity across the healthcare ecosystem.
The event explored the state’s initiatives, challenges, and collaborative opportunities to address health disparities. As providers and insurance companies focus more on overall patient well-being—beyond just treating symptoms—value-based care models are driving new approaches to improving patient outcomes. Health systems are investing in research to enhance healthcare delivery, while also finding innovative ways to support patients with housing, food, and transportation to prevent larger health issues down the line.
This summit provided a platform for leaders to discuss these evolving strategies and how to work together to create a more equitable healthcare ecosystem in Connecticut.
