What is a Community Health Worker and How Can They Help Me?

The GMP Network Care Management Team is committed to supporting patients in achieving their best possible health outcomes. Sometimes this means helping with day-to-day needs that affect your health, such as:

  • Transportation
  • Food resources
  • Insurance navigation
  • Housing support
  • Education on newly diagnosed conditions
  • And more
