Musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, arthritis, and joint injuries, are among the primary causes of disability in the senior population. These conditions often require coordinating care between orthopedic specialists, physical therapists and primary care physicians. The partnership embeds specialized advanced practice providers in the primary care centers to deliver care in-person and virtually, ensuring convenience for seniors while improving their health outcomes. This care model is available throughout Palm Beach County via virtual care delivery, or telehealth appointments, and in-person with specialists.

“This collaboration is advancing the delivery of whole-person musculoskeletal care,” said Dr. Evan Jacobs, Associate Vice President for Specialty Care at CenterWell and Conviva. “We’re encouraged by the early results showing that by integrating Icon Health’s specialized, team-based approach, we’re making it easier for our members to access comprehensive treatment. This is another way CenterWell and Conviva are partnering with specialty care providers to better address conditions prevalent among seniors.”
