With decades of experience managing Michigan’s Medicaid population, Aetna Better Health of Michigan understands that medical care is just one component of overall health. That’s why the health plan is tackling other factors that impact the health of the communities it serves—like access to food, housing, transportation and other social determinants of health.
As part of Crain’s coverage of the Michigan Association of Health Plans Annual Conference, this article explores how Aetna is combatting disparities and gaps in care by partnering with community-based organizations to support the overall health of its members.
