A Whole Health Story
The Whole Health Story: Shauna’s Path to RecoveryShauna Griffin’s life had become unmanageable. In her thirties, her hands and feet regularly went numb from alcoholic neuropathy, which made it painful for her to drive or work at her job as a product manager for a Florida vintage retail store. Later, she began experiencing seizures and jaundice; she lost roughly 50 pounds from inflammation of her pancreas.

The Whole Health Story: Lavetta Finds Healing Through a Support GroupLavetta Smith first thought the irritation on her face was a pimple or a blemish. She had no reason to think she was ill. She lived the stereotypically fast-paced life of a New Yorker in 2003. When she wasn’t working in marketing for a cosmetics company or raising her two kids, Smith loved to dance. But when a dermatologist showed up to her employer’s health fair, she decided to ask him to take a look.

New Telehealth Tools Give Doctors More Real-Time Data
Telehealth visits have been an essential connection to healthcare for millions of people in recent years. Typically, they consist of a video conversation between doctor and patient. New telehealth tools are helping doctors take these visits even further — giving them real-time patient data like they would get during in-person visits.
Elevance Health offers some members in five of its affiliated health plans the ability to use a remote exam kit during their telehealth visits. The exam kits allow doctors to listen to their patients’ hearts and lungs and see inside their mouths and ears.
We are making progress toward the day when one call, click, or visit sets a person on a connected and personalized journey to improve their health. In the pursuit of addressing each person’s health, we are bringing tools, resources, and information together into one place.”
