Through the partnership, Ontrak Health will implement Violet’s continuing education for care coaches learning how to better support every health plan member served by their program.
“Ontrak believes that caring for the whole person includes understanding one’s unique identity, background, and values, and we are better able to do that in tandem with Violet,” said Dr. Judith Feld, Chief Medical Officer, Ontrak Health.
Through the partnership, Violet will onboard Ontrak’s care coaches to credential and upskill cultural competence for improved care of BIPOC, LGBQ, and TGNC patients.
