To improve employees’ health in 2023, employers must take a hard look at where and how employees receive care
Morgan Health CEO Dan Mendelson and partner Cheryl Pegus advocate for embracing value based care and using virtual tools available as a complement.

Our focus on improving employer-sponsored health care requires us to put ourselves in the shoes of employees across all income levels, demographics and work environments to understand where there are unmet needs that require a new approach to coverage and care. Many of the questions that we ask ourselves focus on what we would do in the case of a medical emergency — who would we call or where would we go? How would we learn what interventions we need and what they would cost? Can we heal faster, or avoid a serious complication through earlier or easier access to care?
- Embrace accountable care strategies to strengthen care delivery
- Virtual becoming complementary to, not a replacement for, in-person care
- Greater integration of data analytics, transparency tools and care navigation to guide patient care
