In a move to expand and deepen the regional safety net for people facing a serious or life-limiting illness, Davis-based YoloCares recently applied for, and secured, a nearly $3 million commitment from the State of California to add an Enhanced Care Management component to its portfolio of offerings. By design, ECM intends to address the social determinants of health  which are the nonmedical factors that influence health outcomes. ... [As] Medi-Cal looks towards a major transformation in the structure of benefits, ECM is the Golden State’s initiative to address a lack of palliative and supportive care services.  ... According to Lisa Adams, YoloCares’ director of patient access and palliative care, “... This funding and recognition from the state simply acknowledges and supports the work we have been doing all along.”
