b'Letter from Mary Jo Cagle, MDAs I look back at the work weve undertaken over the last year, one word comes to mind: transformative. This year2024has been transformative for Cone Health and for the patients, families and communities we are privileged to serve. We are transforming the way we make high-quality care available when and where people need it through deep, meaningful partnerships. Our work with the City of Greensboro, NC A&T, UNC Greensboro, Guilford County Schools and Rockingham County Schools is improving access to care and bringing resources to traditionally underserved areas. A school telehealth program is slated to begin in Alamance County Schools in early 2025.These initiatives are improving the health and well-being of these communities on a generational level.We are transforming where we bring health care by opening our newest MedCenter. Cone Health MedCenter Asheboro features a comprehensive cancer center meaning people no longer have to travel outside the county for advanced cancer treatments. We added more urgent care centers to the area, including our first in Winston-Salem. Looking ahead, next year will be even more transformational than this one. We will begin realizing the benefits of our new strategic relationship with Risant Health. A nonprofit organization, Risant Health was formed to increase access to value-based care and coverage and raise the bar for approaches that bring the best results for patients. Being part of Risant Health will accelerate us on our journey to transform health care through value-based care. With our strategic plan in place to guide us, we have everything we need to move from success to significancenot only in the Piedmont and the state of North Carolina but across the United States.CEO, Cone Health2CONE HEALTH ANNUAL REPORT'
