In this episode, Irene Barton sits down with Rae-Anne Pinckney, Director of Community Health Programs and Partnerships at Wellstar Health System, to discuss Wellstar’s mission-driven approach to community health, its innovative programs, and the impact of Resiliency Week.
Wellstar’s community health programs are designed to expand access to care and strengthen social support across the communities they serve. Using data from Community Health Needs Assessments, Wellstar identifies and prioritizes local needs—then goes beyond data collection to develop and enhance service-led initiatives. These efforts directly support an equitable, people-centered care model that addresses barriers to health and well-being.
