Gizelle’s Story – A View Into Upward Health’s Impact in New York
We’re proud to share Gizelle’s story, a powerful example of the impact that compassionate, whole-person care can have on an individual’s life.
As we shared on our LinkedIn page, through our partnership with Fidelis Care, a statewide health plan with more than 2.4 million members in New York State and a Centene Corporation company, Gizelle received the support she needed to overcome significant health challenges. Her journey highlights how Upward Health’s innovative care model not only improves quality performance and reduces healthcare costs, but also empowers patients to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
