It is well-documented that an individual’s overall<br />
health is correlated to his or her ability to overcome<br />
socio-economic challenges. Altegra Health is committed<br />
to advancing resources that address the social<br />
determinants of health, an underlying force behind cost<br />
and overutilization of avoidable high-cost services.<br />
