Aligned, Effective, and Holistic Care
PROGRAMS & SERVICES IMPACT – INTEGRATED CARE
Leticia Rosales, RN, is on the frontlines of good health for community members who need an integrated approach to diabetes care and prevention.
“As a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, integrated healthcare means working closely with a team of primary care providers, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, and mental health professionals to deliver coordinated, patient-centered care. It allows me to address not only blood glucose management, but also the emotional, behavioral, and social factors that affect a patient’s ability to manage diabetes.
For example, imagine patient with diabetes and depression. In a fragmented system, they may see a primary care provider who manages their blood glucose but overlooks mental health, while a separate counselor may not know about their diabetes. In our integrated system, providers collaborate, ensuring that our patients receive comprehensive, person-centered support.”
One of Leticia’s patients expressed appreciation for the wide range of services saying, “My health has completely changed – a real 360 degrees for the better. I have more energy and I am more active.”
