Meet Jake Woods, our Executive Director of ACOs at PSW! Jake has been with us for over five years, where he’s played a vital role in managing and growing our ACO programs. He serves as the subject matter expert in accountable care and innovative models at PSW while building meaningful relationships both inside and outside of PSW to support communities in delivering high-quality care.

Our Care Management team has done it again! 🌟 Read how they went above and beyond to make a difference in our patient's life.

"The PSW Care Management Team followed up with a patient who felt lost after visiting the Emergency Department for breathing problems and pneumonia. The Nurse Care Manager helped them by arranging a meeting with a Nurse Practitioner, refilling their medications, and enrolling them in the Remote Patient Monitoring program. They also helped the patient find a Primary Care Provider (P*P) despite their fear of doctors. Positive changes were facilitated, such as smoking less and accessing assistance from Medicaid and food banks. As a result, the patient remains enrolled in PSW services, regularly connects with their care team, and has a newly positive attitude towards improving their health."
