transforming healthcare! Landmark Health, not a part of the Optum
family, was created to transform how healthcare is delivered to the
most medically vulnerable members in our community. Our medical
group provides home-based medical care to chronically ill patients,
many of whom are frail, elderly, and ill-equipped to navigate our
overwhelming healthcare system.Because many of our patients are

incremental financial cost to them. We are not a fee-for-service
practice; we benefit economically only if we deliver high-quality
patient outcomes and satisfaction. As a result, our clinical teams

deserve.Our model is finding success throughout the country; we are
