TAMARA CARLTON
TITLE: DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL
DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH
AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
INDUSTRY: HOSPITAL & HEALTH CARE
LOCATION: ST LOUIS, MISSOURI, USAMTM is re-imagining healthcare with a
value-based business model focused on
identifying and removing the SDOH that
are the cause of health disparities through
a holistic, whole-person approach that
drives client value and promotes superior
outcomes by focusing on the well-being
of members. By expanding into providing
services such as meals, groceries, and home
modifications, MTM is hoping to further
assist those who want to age in place so they
can do so safely, happily, and healthily.
These services will also be extended to
any individuals who require the resource,
whether private pay or Medicare/Medicaid
beneficiaries. “People want to live a healthy
life, but if they don't have access to good
quality food, fruits, and vegetables, if they
have trip hazards in their home, these things
put them at risk and impede their ability to
do so. That’s why MTM looks at the whole
member experience and what we can do
to address social determinants of health.”
Maciá said.
Following their commitment to taking a
whole-person approach to healthcare, MTM
further plans to extend its service. Maciá
says, “As the population ages and wants to
age in place, we want to transport them
where they need to go, but we also want to
bring services to them. So we're expanding
our platform to allow for meals and grocery,
as well as home care coordination and
home modifications. Because as people age
in place, they need modifications to their
homes like turning a tub into a shower, et
cetera. And we believe our job is to help
people age in place, happy and healthy.”

“If the technology works, people are going
to adopt. We believe that, and it’s part of our
strategy.”- Rick Holbrook, CTO, MTM Inc.
