Lolina Philosophy
We believe that chronic disease, health equity and effective healthcare services utilization are the top priorities that face our healthcare system today — and that effective leadership is the key to all successful individuals, teams, programs, organizations, and systems. We embrace the visions of a healthier tomorrow by providing consultation that strengthens services and programs to achieve the TRIPLE AIM: Improved population health, improved quality of care, and reduced costs. When all aspects of the healthcare system align limit resources to improve the health status of individuals — especially among underserved populations — the overall health status of our communities will improve.
