KelseyCare partners with companies by analyzing demographic and claims data to manage health risks and intervene on unhealthy behaviors. Our program leads to the development of health and wellness interventions, participation in appropriate disease management programs, and targeting of emerging "danger zones" with sound, medically based strategies and innovations.
