The Payor Champion Awards celebrate health plans, accountable care organizations, value-based providers and health care innovators demonstrating exceptional support of MIH/CP care models to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care in the community.

JCC was one of three recipients in the Regional Payor category.

“Payors play an essential role in shaping the future health of Americans,” said Victoria Reinhartz, Executive Director at NAMIHP. “These Champions are moving health care forward by recognizing the value of mobile integrated health and implementing innovative payment models, research, and cost-effective MIH/CP delivery models.”  

Along with other recipients from across the United States, JCC was recognized during the NAMIHP MIH Summit on March 22–24 in Scottsdale, Arizona, where national leaders gathered to share best practices and scale innovative models of care.

Chief Executive Officer, Jennifer Lind, received the award on behalf of JCC alongside Mercy Flights partners, Jonathan Parker and Marcus Allen.
