Susan Cooper/ONE Health Population Health Strategy
Led by Susan Cooper, chief integration officer at Regional One Health, ONE Health is a new concept in care to address the real issues of patients who are “super-utilizers” of emergency and hospital services. The reasons are not always medical in nature. Susan and her team are using data-driven and human-centered practices to meet the needs of individuals to improve their health and their lives.
