Initial Outcomes• Of the 32 clients with data at both baseline and
follow-up, an average statistically significant weight loss of 9.45 pounds was found. t(31) = 3.119, p = .004
• At six-months, 22/32 (68.75%) of clients lost weight (the range in weight loss was 0.20 lbs to 73.20 lbs).
• Of the 32 BE Well patients with data at both
baseline and six-month follow-up, an average statistically significant decrease in BMI scores by 2.04 points was found, t(31) = 4.140, p < .001.
Initial Outcomes• Significant reduction in systolic blood pressure of 10.24
mmHg, t(24) = 4.008, p = .001
• Trend level reduction in diastolic blood pressure of 3.88 mmHg, t(24) = 1.851, p = .077
• Significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 0.74%, t(25) = 2.574, p = .016

Plans for the Future• Sustainability
– Increase revenue by billing Medicaid, Medicare, and private insurance when possible for services
– Work with MCOs to allow for E&M billing
• Health Home Activity– BE Well is a prototype for a specialized medical home – we aim to
create financial independence for it and expand this model to other Centerstone service regions
• ACO Activity– Develop partnerships where possible, place therapists in FQHCs,
work toward goal of reducing hospital use
• Goals for next six months– Obtain new physical space to facilitate greater visibility, accessibility,
and triage potential– Increase number of patients served where possible
