A Conversation With Dr. Kofi Essel on Why Food as Medicine Matters to Elevance HealthAccess to nutritious food is an important social driver that affects health. ‘Access’ means a person has the money to pay for nutritious food, the transportation to a store that sells it, and the tools and skills to prepare and serve it. It’s one of several health-related social needs that, when addressed, can influence health as much as exercise frequency, tobacco use or blood pressure.
Consumer-Centered Health System
A consumer-centered health system places people at the center and helps them care for their health in a way that best works for them. It connects a broad range of information to produce a comprehensive picture, allowing them to see the full view of their health rather than navigating through a disjointed system.

Turning Evidence Into Action: Expanding Access to Doula Care
Ensuring people receive evidence-based healthcare is one of the ways health plans work to improve overall health outcomes. Members of some Elevance Health-affiliated commercial health plans can now access doula services as part of their plan to help them prepare for the birth of a baby. In the same way that members can search for care providers from cardiologists to dermatologists, they can also search for a doula who can address the needs of the whole family during pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period.
Several years of thorough research, careful planning and partnership development with doula organizations helped make this possible.
