Baltimore woman credits Higi and her local JCC with saving her life

The formula is simple: greater access to care leads to earlier interventions and better outcomes. For Jackie, this access was enabled through the placement of a Higi Station in her local JCC from two trusted healthcare partners: LifeBridge Health, a Baltimore health system, and the American Heart Association. The two collaborated to provide the Higi Smart Health Station in their community. The journey for Jackie started with an educational message about heart attack and stroke awareness, leading her to learn a little bit about her own health by completing a screening. And there are so many more Jackies out there. Each year, across the Higi network, we capture over 630,000 hypertensive crisis readings - that’s 630,000 opportunities for a care provider to take immediate action.

• For a health system partner: Higi identified a high-risk consumer as part of a community strategy and helped connect that consumer to care at their system

• For a Medicare Plan partner: Placing a Higi Station where members go helped to identify and address a health need before it became costly and difficult to manage
