Newtopia is honored to partner with Heartland
Whole Health Institute on a landmark primary prevention and
high-impact healthcare reform initiative
TORONTO, Dec. 14,
2023 /CNW/ - Newtopia Inc. ("Newtopia" or the
"Company") (TSXV: NEWU) (OTCQB: NEWUF), a tech-enabled
whole health platform creating sustainable habits that prevent,
slow and reverse chronic disease, is pleased to announce the
company's collaboration with philanthropist Alice Walton's Heartland Whole Health Institute
on a community approach to intervene in preventable chronic
diseases by offering Newtopia's habit change platform as a no-cost
health benefit to participants.
Earlier today, Heartland Whole Health Institute (HWHI), a
nonprofit founded in 2019 by philanthropist Alice Walton, announced the organization's
alliance with Newtopia and Community Clinic on the Whole Health
Coaching Project (the Project). HWHI works with health systems,
communities, policymakers, and employers to redesign care delivery
and payment models to improve health and reduce costs.
The Project has commenced with patients of Community Clinic, a
large primary care provider with nearly 20 locations in two
counties. Patients have been identified through biometric and
diagnostic data indicating they suffer from type-2 diabetes,
hypertension or obesity.
The Project, which will run for 12 months once enrollment is
capped, aims to increase member or patient activation and
engagement, improve health, and reduce costs of care while
simultaneously increasing desired utilization by closing gaps in
care. It is positioned to expand to other providers and employers
in the region, home to a population of more than 500,000 people,
and offers a blueprint for the deployment of scalable, value-based
primary prevention efforts with large/national employers, payors,
and providers across the United
States.
"We are honored that HWHI has placed their trust in us to
deliver on the success of their vision for a healthier Northwest Arkansas," said Jeff Ruby, Founder and CEO of Newtopia. "Given
Newtopia's evidence-based efficacy and proven, peer-reviewed
results, we anticipate that our personalized health coaching will
have a strongly beneficial impact on all areas of the triple aim in
the region: improving population health, reducing cost of
care, and enhancing the patient/member experience."
As noted by HWHI's founder, Alice
Walton in their press release announcing the Project, "The
success of our vision relies on the connections we build and the
change we seek with likeminded community partners."
Ruby Continued "Newtopia is proud to be one of those partners,
working alongside HWHI, Community Clinic and others to help
individuals in need take charge of their health and live their
fullest, most meaningful lives."
