Better Health Partnership

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new initiative that will pilot the provision of Better Health Partnership’s (BHP) Pathways HUB services to Medicare members, in partnership with BHP member organization Medical Mutual of Ohio. BHP’s Pathways HUB, which has served Medicaid clients in Cuyahoga County since 2020, is an evidence-based care coordination model that helps individuals obtain needed care and resources by connecting them with community health workers.

"We are thrilled to collaborate with the Better Health Partnership Pathways HUB team to launch this pilot for our valued Medical Mutual Medicare members," stated Betsy Williamson, Vice President of Cost of Care & Population Health at Medical Mutual. "We appreciate the Pathways Community HUB Institute for promoting the HUB model as an evidence-based method to identify and address unmet social needs. Our involvement in the design phase of this pilot has been instrumental in ensuring our focus on being a trusted navigator for our members. This opportunity enhances our ongoing partnership with BHP, allowing us to further positively impact the lives of our members in Cuyahoga County.”

The Lead Safe Cleveland Coalition (LSCC) has selected Better Health Partnership to administer a critical new program to increase blood lead testing rates in the City of Cleveland. In this role, Better Health will spearhead efforts over a 17-month period to expand and strengthen lead screening, testing, and early intervention services for residents of the City of Cleveland, focusing on the city’s most at-risk populations.

We recently celebrated the 5th anniversary of the Better Health Partnership Pathways HUB. Launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the HUB has served almost 4,000 clients in Cuyahoga County and has met almost 22,000 client needs since its inception.

“It has been a humbling experience transitioning from supporting the visionary and talented team of leaders who built the Pathways HUB, to now having the honor of working more closely with the HUB care coordination agencies (CCAs) and their passionate community health workers,” said Matt Rosenblum, Director of the BHP Pathways HUB.
