Population Health

Population health recognizes that your health is shaped by more than medical care. Everyday factors like access to food, transportation, housing, social support, caregiving, and community resources can all affect your health and ability to live well. Vivie’s population health team helps address these social needs by understanding what’s getting in the way, connecting you with helpful resources and services, and providing guidance to help you plan for your future health-care needs.

Care management provides ongoing, personalized support for people with complex health, social, or daily living needs. A care manager can help coordinate care across providers and services, navigate health-care and community resources, develop a care plan, and provide ongoing follow-up as needs change. 

Resource navigation provides short-term help for a specific need, such as finding food, transportation, housing, utility assistance, or another community resource. Our team can help identify options, assist with referrals or applications, and follow up to make sure you're successfully connected. 

Advance care planning is the process of thinking about and communicating your values, goals, and preferences for future health care. It can include choosing a health-care decision-maker, completing a health-care directive, and making sure your wishes are understood by loved ones and health-care providers. 

Advance care planning is the broader process of thinking about and discussing your wishes for future health care. A health-care directive is a document that records important decisions and can identify who you want to make health-care decisions on your behalf if you're unable to make them yourself. 

Advance care planning can happen at any age—you don't need to wait for a serious illness or health crisis. Starting the conversation early gives you time to consider what matters most and communicate your wishes with the people you trust. 

Yes. Advance care planning is an ongoing process. Your wishes and documents can be revisited as your health, circumstances, or preferences change. 

Vivie can help you identify needs, understand available options, and connect you with health care, community, and social services. Depending on your situation, this may include help finding resources for transportation, food, housing, utilities, caregiving, or other needs that support your health and independence.
