Over the last year, SMP Health - St. Kateri has been working with Caret Health, Cibolo Health, and Rough Rider Network to drive improvements in rural healthcare by expanding access, improving outcomes, and supporting local economies. With leadership from Dr. Clint MacKinney, MD, MS, CMO from Cibolo Health, and Dr. Riya Pulicharam, MD CPI, CMO from Caret Health, we have implemented a highly efficient care coordination program that facilitates timely screenings, wellness visits, and early interventions.
The program combines telemedicine, real-time analytics, and automated workflows to empower rural providers with actionable insights—bridging care gaps and mitigating provider shortages. We strongly believe this is a huge next step to advancing clinical quality and sustainability across underserved communities. Our work with the Medicaid and now Medicaid Expansion population will also continue!
