Wider Circle, a company that works with health plans and providers to deliver community care programs, announced a partnership with CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield Community Health Plan Maryland (CareFirst CHPMD).

与健康计划和提供者合作提供社区护理计划的公司Broader Circle宣布与马里兰州CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield社区健康计划（CareFirst CHPMD）建立合作关系。

The aim of the partnership is to have Wider Circle work with CareFirst's Medicaid Plan to increase member engagement and make health outcomes better by promoting strong, supportive community bonds.

该伙伴关系的目的是与CareFirst的医疗补助计划进行更广泛的合作，通过促进强大的支持性社区纽带，增加成员的参与度，改善健康状况。

Wider Circle works with health plans and providers to institute peer-to-peer programs overseen by community leaders.

。

The new partnership comes in the wake of Wider Circle’s recent growth in Arizona, where the company is assisting beneficiaries who are eligible for Medicare and Medicaid by using an established peer-to-peer model to make connections, provide education on preventive care and continue routine engagement with primary care physicians and health plan care managers. .

新的合作伙伴关系产生于Wide Circle最近在亚利桑那州的发展之后，该公司正在亚利桑那州通过使用已建立的点对点模式建立联系，提供预防保健教育，并继续与初级保健医生和健康计划护理管理人员进行日常接触，帮助有资格享受医疗保险和医疗补助的受益人。。

'We’re thrilled to be working with CareFirst to expand our services in Maryland Medicaid, showcasing the value of our peer-driven model, which promotes healthier behaviors and strengthens the social fabric in these underserved communities,' Darin Buxbaum, co-founder and chief executive officer of Wider Circle said in a statement..

Broad Circle联合创始人兼首席执行官达林·布克鲍姆（DarinBuxbaum）在一份声明中说：“我们很高兴能与CareFirst合作，扩大我们在马里兰州医疗补助（Medicaid）的服务，展示我们同伴驱动模式的价值，该模式促进了这些服务不足的社区的健康行为，并加强了社会结构。”。。

'By creating trusted connections and support networks, we help members achieve better health outcomes and enhance overall well-being. This expansion marks another significant milestone for Wider Circle, enabling us to reach more individuals across the nation and further support our healthcare partners by reducing costs while improving quality and member retention,” .

“通过建立可信的联系和支持网络，我们帮助会员取得更好的健康结果，提高整体幸福感。这一扩张标志着更广泛领域的另一个重要里程碑，使我们能够接触到全国更多的个人，并通过降低成本，同时提高质量和会员保留率，进一步支持我们的医疗保健合作伙伴”。

Mike Rapach, president and chief executive officer of CHPMD, noted that making sure its communities are kept apprised and educated about the services available to them is one of the company's largest priorities.

CHPMD总裁兼首席执行官迈克·拉帕奇（MikeRapach）指出，确保其社区了解并接受有关其可用服务的教育是公司最大的优先事项之一。

'Wider Circle’s unique approach to member engagement should help close gaps in care for our members and community by connecting them to the resources they need in addition to driving down costs for them,' Rapach said.

拉帕奇说：“更广泛的圈子在成员参与方面的独特做法，除了降低他们的成本外，还可以将他们与所需的资源联系起来，从而有助于弥合在照顾我们的成员和社区方面的差距。”。
