Amerigroup Community Care of Georgia recently visited CRH Physician Practices and Orthopedics in Douglas as part of its statewide Rural Health Tour – an initiative developed in partnership with GoMo Health.
The visit brought together Amerigroup representatives, local healthcare providers, and community stakeholders to discuss the unique healthcare challenges facing residents of Coffee County, including access to preventive care, chronic disease management, access to health services, transportation barriers, and continuity of care.
The statewide Rural Health Tour is focused on improving healthcare access and outcomes for Medicaid members living in underserved rural communities across Georgia. During the visit, Amerigroup highlighted resources and tools designed to strengthen care coordination, support healthcare providers, and connect individuals with services that can help improve their overall health and well-being. Provider participants also received demonstrations of provider support resources and personalized digital engagement tools that help patients stay connected to care between appointments, improve treatment adherence, and close gaps in care.
The visit to Douglas is one of several stops on Amerigroup’s statewide Rural Health Tour. The Tour aims to engage more than 100 healthcare locations and 1,000 providers across Georgia who support more than 450,000 Medicaid patients.
At the center of the initiative is a commitment to extending care beyond traditional clinical settings, helping providers better manage population health while supporting members as they navigate the healthcare system and stay on track with their care plans.
