What is specialty care, and why does it matter? It’s a question more people are starting to ask—and for good reason. Our CEO, John Zutter, recently joined Kevin Fyock on The Stretch podcast to dive into this topic: ✅ What specialty care really means for employers ✅ Why it’s critical to improving health outcomes ✅ How Lantern is rethinking the traditional centers of excellence model to deliver better care while saving on costs Give it a listen and learn how we’re transforming specialty care for the better. https://lnkd.in/ehUhUigP #healthcare #specialtycare #innovation #centersofexcellence

🚨Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions: A significant driver of healthcare expenses For many companies, MSK costs are among the biggest challenges in managing healthcare spend and Edward Jones was no exception. When Ryan McCracken, Director of Benefits at Edward Jones, analyzed their healthcare trends, he saw MSK conditions consistently impacting their bottom line. His goal was clear: find a comprehensive solution that could reduce costs, provide exceptional care, and ensure simplicity for employees navigating their benefits. That’s where Lantern and our Network of Excellence came in. In the video below, Ryan shares why Edward Jones chose Lantern as their partner to address MSK challenges and improve outcomes for their team. 🔗⬇️Want to hear the full story?

I had a lot of fun filming this NYSE Future in Five video. I was asked to share an idea that I think could rewrite the future of healthcare. My take? Not enough people are talking about the power of employers to drive down costs. Half the U.S. gets care through an employer, and in our experience, employers want to get care right. They’re focused on steering people to the right doctors at the right moments in their care. https://hubs.li/Q02_k7b80

💡 High-quality care must be accessible 💡   We believe that providing exceptional care means breaking down barriers to access.   Your employees, our members, shouldn’t have to take flights or drive thousands of miles just to receive the care they need. That’s why we’ve built a Nationwide Network of Excellence—connecting your employees with the best local surgeons and specialists.   🚗 99% of our members are within driving distance of their care.   With us, your employees can focus on their health and getting their life back.   In our latest webinar, we discussed the importance of access to care.
