Ballad Health invests $2M in 21 groups promoting community health

The health system highlighted those organizations during a virtual press conference on Tuesday.
“As we’ve gone down this journey ... to really pivot from being just a health care delivery system to a community health improvement organization, we learned very early that we have to get out of ourselves and really rely on all of the wonderful community partners across the Appalachian Highlands,” said Paula Masters, the system’s vice president of population health programs.
Historically, Masters said, health systems tend to work alongside local organizations to support their work. With its division of population health and the goals that have come out of Ballad’s Cooperative Agreement in Virginia and the Certificate of Public Advantage in Tennessee, Masters said Ballad is further investing in its community partners.
