Paying for value equals better health.
Understand what health is (hint: it’s not just medical care). Pay for health. Start with children. We believe these three simple actions can change the health trajectory of our nation.
DESIGNING VALUE-BASED MODELS
Well Beyond Medicine is the cornerstone of our organizational strategy.
To achieve our vision of creating the healthiest generations of children, we’re consulting with those who know children best — their families, educators and other supportive community partners — to ensure our perspective of health includes the 80% of impacts they experience outside our walls. We are also working with payers and policymakers to align how health is valued, incentivized and compensated.

Innovative community partnerships help families HEAL.
Our innovative HEAL (Health Enabling Assistance & Loan) Program, part of our Population Health work in the VBSO, is a social impact investment model intended to provide short-term financial support to families with financial needs that are impacting their child’s health. This is accomplished through a partnership between Nemours Children’s Health and Discover Bank, allowing families who do not qualify for other assistance to access a loan and financial coaching
Carrie Sewell Roberts, MA, MSS, LCSW, Supervisor of Social Work, Nemours Children’s Health, Delaware Valley, describes how the HEAL Program helped a family whose child sustained devastating injuries when he was hit by a car leaving the child unable to walk.
