Lincoln Intermediate Unit 12 partners with Proactive MD to open two state-of-the-art health centers, providing school district employees with new health care benefits.
NEW OXFORD, Pa., August 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Lincoln Intermediate Unit (LUI) 12 has tapped Proactive MD, the rapidly growing and transformative leading primary care provider, to serve more than 2,800 educators across South-central Pennsylvania. With extensive experience serving school districts across the country, Proactive MD will take LIU12 health care to a whole new level with two new health centers serving york, Adamand franklin counties.
“We are excited to expand into Pennsylvania and we are committed to providing the best possible care to those we serve at LIU12,” said John Necklace, founder and CEO of Proactive MD. “Every life we touch is precious to us. We look forward to making a difference in the health care journeys of these educators and helping contain costs for school districts.”
Proactive MD partners with employers to deliver advanced primary care at scale that extends beyond clinic walls, providing a patient-centered model that guides the patient journey, delivers high-quality care and leverages data to reduce costs for employers.
“We chose Proactive MD as our healthcare solution because they demonstrate an unwavering commitment to quality care – across many school districts and other industries,” said Dr. Jeff West, executive director of LIU12. “They don’t just refer patients to a specialist and expect them to figure it out themselves. They play a quarterback role across the entire continuum of care, making sure patients get the best possible outcome.”
LIU12 is a member of an innovative healthcare consortium known as the Lincoln Benefit Trust (LBT) run by Marty Schuj. The LBT identifies and administers benefit offerings to schools, ensuring that rising health care costs are addressed and the value of school health benefits is improved. Reasonably, LIU12 sought to assess the benefits of an advanced onsite primary care model. LIU12 under contract with Erin Reason, national director of CBIZ’s clinical consulting practice, who conducted a feasibility study, stakeholder interviews and in-depth needs analysis before conducting a vendor review in a public request for proposals (RFP). Erin said, “They were diligent in their selection process while making sure to select the partner that would best help them achieve their specific goals. The general health and wellness needs of their members team were always at the forefront.”
Proactive MD has been selected by LIU12 to serve its faculty, staff and their families to provide greater access to advanced primary care. The Advanced Primary Care Health Center Model is a service that LIU12 makes available to employees and families of other LBT member schools and currently plans to open a third health center campus in Franklin County.
“As Pennsylvania school districts seek to rein in rising health care costs and protect the value of their health benefits, we couldn’t recommend Proactive MD more highly,” said Marty Schuj, Trust Manager at LBT. “Their mission goes hand in hand with ours, and we look forward to seeing consistent and improved health care in our schools.”
Health centers opened in Spring of 2022 serving all LIU12 employees and their families covered by the LIU12 benefits plan.
