Eighty-five percent of adults age 65 and older have at least one chronic condition, and two-thirds have two or more. As the U.S. population ages, proactive healthcare is becoming more important than ever. Regular screenings, preventive measures, and early interventions help identify issues sooner, support effective chronic condition management, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes and more efficient use of resources. The Patina model is built specifically around the unique needs of adults 65+. Our personalized, holistic approach considers every aspect of a patient’s health – physical, emotional, and social – to empower older adults to remain strong, independent, and engaged in their communities.

Older adults worry about Alzheimer’s more than any other disease – yet only 40% say that their healthcare provider routinely checks their brain health. At Patina, our care model is purpose-built for individuals 65 and older, regardless of their health status. We focus on integrating comprehensive geriatric expertise into primary care, ensuring all of our patients receive proactive, personalized support. By truly getting to know each person, our teams are positioned to identify potential issues early and foster healthier, more independent lives. As the population ages, there’s a critical need for care delivery that meets older adults where they are. With the right approach, we can bridge the gaps in care, deliver stronger outcomes, and ultimately help older adults thrive. See how. https://hubs.li/Q033C3Ql0

“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Today, as we honor Dr. King’s legacy, let’s renew our commitment to caring for one another.

A recent study by The John A. Hartford Foundation, in partnership with @Age Wave and The Harris Poll, found that 62% of older adults find health insurance options confusing, particularly during the Medicare annual enrollment period.

With Patina, patients have a dedicated advocate who helps them understand their benefits, connect the dots across providers, and access the care they need – all at no added cost under Medicare and leading Medicare Advantage plans in the Philly and Charlotte areas. We’re dedicated to improving the healthcare and aging experience for older adults, helping to improve member satisfaction and overall quality of care. Consumer feedback like what’s in the report validate our mission and underscore the value we deliver to both our health plan partners and members. Read the report: https://hubs.li/Q032ngCp0
