Buying Health – Not Only Health Care

We must look beyond what is typically thought of as “health care” and invest more strategically in health. At DHHS, we want to make it easier for providers, insurers and community organizations to connect people with the resources they need to be healthy by accelerating and scaling these efforts to meet the needs of communities statewide.
