In today’s complex health care landscape, sustainable partnerships among payers, providers, and community-based organizations are essential for delivering integrated medical and social care. This session will explore how cross-sector collaboration—across public, private, and nonprofit sectors—can improve population health, address disparities, and support whole-person care.

Speakers will discuss the importance of moving beyond referral-based models to scalable solutions that include person-centered data sharing and direct payment for social care services. They will highlight how leveraging data and technology enables proactive, personalized care and helps identify and address social determinants of health (SDoH) such as housing, income, and education.

Examples include a payer-provider platform that enhances collaboration through shared member charts, and a school-based telehealth initiative that brings virtual care to millions of students nationwide. By breaking down silos and fostering integrated care, we can build a more inclusive, sustainable health care system that improves outcomes and reduces costs.
