Seeing a community’s health gaps and opportunities is no easy feat. Seeing the social health needs at the household level is very challenging…but this is where Amit Kale, Vice President at Highmark Health, believes we need to start to help members live healthier lives.

Amit Kale MD, MHA joins the podcast to talk about the opportunities and challenges of addressing social determinants of health from both an insurance member and product approach and a community-based investment approach.
