Wider Circle announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Apollo Medical Holdings, Inc. to deliver Enhanced Care Management (ECM) to high-need Medicaid members across the state of California. Under the joint venture relationship, the two organizations will provide comprehensive patient-centered care and Enhanced Care Management for Medicaid members with complex needs, an integral component of the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) initiative. This program will leverage Wider Circle's unique group-based engagement model and ApolloMed's well-established comprehensive care management offering to elevate how social programs and clinical services are delivered - together - in the communities they collectively serve.

Wider Circle is committed to solving the last mile of healthcare by building neighborhood groups that empower members to motivate and support each other to get the care they need, when they need it, where they need it. This is accomplished by using the company's analytics capabilities to identify members who are eligible for the program and building trusted neighborhood groups, leveraging its multi-modal outreach techniques to engage these populations where they are in the community. ApolloMed is focused on coordinating care for community members and empowering care providers with the technology and infrastructure they need to effectively deliver high-quality care to all.

ApolloMed continues to pair its significant experience with members with complex clinical care needs with its proprietary care management platform, evidence-based protocols, and clinical care delivery network to help deliver the best possible outcomes for these individuals. Moving forward, the two organizations will continue to work in close collaboration to meet the needs of members throughout California while delivering value to the health system at large.
