26    Cone Health Philanthropy
We envision a 
future where 
health is not 
defined by 
the walls of a 
hospital, but by 
the vitality of our 
communities. In 
this future, we are 
more than a care 
provider, we are a 
catalyst for human 
flourishing. This  
is our destination: 
a health system 
that brings care 
to life, everywhere 
life happens.”
Cone Health’s Strategic Vision 2030
Value-based care is the operating model 
that brings this vision to life — grounding 
every decision in community vitality and 
whole-person health.
shape a workforce ready to lead this shift. 
“We’ve gotten where we are because so many of our people 
are heroic humans,” Danielle says. “Now it’s time to support 
our teams by building the systems, tools and training to 
make that excellence sustainable.”
That support now has added force. Cone Health’s integration 
with Risant Health brings access to shared technology, data 
platforms and learning resources that strengthen value-
based care across the enterprise. It accelerates the work 
already underway inside Cone Health University — turning 
a local commitment to prevention into a systemwide 
capability.
“Value-based care only works when we have people on the 
ground like CMAs, community health workers and social 
workers connecting with patients every day,” Danielle adds. 
“The training and the technology make prevention real.”
It’s the work Jessica Wilsey does every morning: thinking 
one step ahead, creating moments of human connection, 
asking the questions that ground the science of medicine in 
the art of care.
Do they have what they need to stay well when they leave 
today? Who else needs to know what’s happening here, and 
what support should follow?
That instinct — to connect the dots, anticipate what comes 
next and never lose sight of the person in front of you — is 
precisely what Cone Health is building into its workforce 
systemwide through value-based care. Their patients may 
be managing diabetes or recovering from surgery, but these 
caregivers are managing something even more vital: trust.
