Investing in Employees and Strategy

He faces headwinds such as rising expenses and wages, while opportunities include being more consumer friendly and making healthcare services accessible to people's daily lives. At Adventist, they are investing in their employees by reinvesting money that was previously used for travel agencies and allowing hybrid roles and telehealth visits. His top priority is looking at what the organization needs in order to be successful two to three years from now.
Bringing Healthcare Direct to Consumers
Corey, VP of Adventist Healthcare, is working to make healthcare more accessible and consumer friendly. He's focused on investments in technology and services outside the four walls of the organization that bring healthcare directly to consumers. He believes that the best opportunities lie in direct contracting with employers to reduce their healthcare costs and better work with local businesses and community members.
