The AHEAD Model is a pioneer initiative aiming to reshape state and regional health systems through a Total Cost of Care (TCOC) approach. The Making Care Primary (MCP) Model, a 10.5-year multi-payer initiative, builds upon the successes of previous models like Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC), CPC+, and Primary Care First (PCF), as well as the Maryland Primary Care Program (MDPCP). MCP elevates primary care services and sets the stage for a high-performing health system.

Diabetes, the eighth leading cause of death in the United States (US), is characterized by elevated blood sugar levels disrupting the body's ability to produce or effectively use insulin. This growing chronic condition extends beyond individual health, posing threats to diverse populations across socioeconomic landscapes.

From the air we breathe to the water we drink, the environment plays a pivotal role in shaping our well-being. At the intersection of these complex dynamics where public health and environmental health converge, there is an opportunity for technology and analytics to pave a path for a healthier biological and environmental future.
