Mission Mobile Medical was profiled in a Hospitalogy Deep Dive by Blake Madden, exploring how networked satellite primary care clinics can shift rural healthcare upstream and unlock value for managed care organizations and health systems. A short excerpt is below. Read the full feature on Hospitalogy.
For the 66 million+ Americans living in rural communities, healthcare is broken. Patients are sicker, care is less accessible, and quality is questionable. Rural residents grapple daily with severe access limitations, provider shortages, higher mortality rates, and chronic underinvestment in healthcare infrastructure.
With nearly 200 rural hospitals closed since 2005 and 700 more at risk, the urgency to solve rural healthcare delivery has never been greater. There is one team in North Carolina, many of whom have been personally affected by this problem, that decided to help managed care organizations and health systems fix it.
The feature looks at how Mission Mobile Medical is quietly revolutionizing rural health outcomes, why the team is distinctive, and how its Satellite Primary Care Clinic model aggregates sparse rural populations to generate the visit volume needed to move Quality measures, all while operating on a self-funded, value-based model.
