Modivcare’s Higi Stations and suite of services play a pivotal role to enhance and expand access to care where community members spend their time in their neighborhoods. Aetna works with local partners to provide its members with tools and services to help them better understand their health and take action to improve it through personalized education and navigation to community resources, and these stations provide a new tool to build upon that work.
“We are thrilled to deepen our relationship with Aetna Better Health of Illinois, leveraging our Higi Stations and platform to deliver technology-driven care access and community engagement solutions,” said L. Heath Sampson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Modivcare. “This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to improving healthcare access and equity for under-resourced communities.

The future of healthcare demands broader access and smarter use of clinical resources. This scalable, tech-enabled model reflects where the industry is headed – and where Modivcare is leading. Together with Aetna Better Health of Illinois, we are making a significant difference in the health and well-being of our communities.”
“Through our expanded collaboration with Modivcare, we can improve the health and well-being of our members through emerging technology and access,” said Rushil Desai, Chief Executive Officer of Aetna Better Health of Illinois. “Our work together opens a new opportunity to address the critical needs of the community and our members. These self-service stations allow our members to measure key health metrics, facilitate self-screening and enable members to connect to a provider in community centers. Our joint efforts positively impact the lives of individuals and families across Illinois, including those that can’t find a doctor, by providing easy-to-use tools to help promote prevention, manage chronic conditions and connect to healthcare resources. We look forward to further empowering our members to live healthier lives through our expanded collaboration with Modivcare.”
