Created in collaboration with Solera Health, a large health plan's digital health platform offers four pillars of health support through its app-based programs: disease prevention; chronic-condition reversal; mental health support; and tobacco cessation.

“Our platform's lifestyle-medicine apps empower our Medi-Cal members to improve both their physical and mental health,” said James Cruz, M.D., chief medical officer of the health plan. “It improves access to care, which we know helps to close healthcare gaps for our members.”

Angie Kalousek-Ebrahimi, senior director of Lifestyle Medicine at the health plan, concurred. “Members who enroll now have online access to a range of digital-care lifestyle medicine and mental health programs that are evidence-based and can make measurable improvements in their overall health and wellbeing, especially for those with chronic conditions.”

“We are pleased to extend our relationship with this health plan to offer their Medi-Cal members these easily accessible digital health programs to help them get and stay healthy,” said Mary Langowski, CEO of Solera Health. “We applaud the health plan for continuing to lead in providing consumer-friendly, evidence-based health solutions that consumers want and need.”

Medi-Cal members can enroll. They then complete a simple health questionnaire to identify their health goals. Based on their answers, they can select and enroll with digital app providers that offer programs, tools, and strategies that will help them achieve their desired health goals. Many apps offer digital online coaches and educational tools as part of their overall program.
