Creating New Pathways To Specialty Care

Employers want the best for their employees and their families, and that extends to health outcomes for major life-altering surgeries, cancer care and other specialty infusions. Many employers are familiar with and use traditional “centers of excellence” models, but often that means sending employees to the most renowned facilities available, usually hundreds of miles or more away. This path to specialty care is well traveled — quite literally. But organizations like Lantern are charting a new map to specialty care, using a local network of high-performing providers across the country to unite patients with the treatment they need, closer to home. Here to explain the growing specialty care category and how to make accessing quality specialty care easier is John Zutter, CEO of Lantern.
