OK Health participants significantly decreased their cardiovascular risk during one year in the program.

Participants utilized more pharmacy claims due to more appropriate medication use and enhanced compliance.

Savings from medical utilization will need data analysis for greater than two years.

Our goal as a mentor is to help prevent or manage CVD and other chronic diseases.

By partnering with participants in setting goals and integrating healthy lifestyles, participants can achieve optimal health and well-being.
