CoxHealth and Journeys Metabolic Partner to Tackle Metabolic Disease

Journeys Metabolic, a leader in value-based care for reversing and preventing metabolic diseases, has partnered with CoxHealth to address metabolic disease in Southwest Missouri. This collaboration aims to provide population-wide access to a novel digital health program specifically targeting metabolic health improvements.

The partnership facilitates the enrollment of at-risk individuals in CoxHealth into Journeys Metabolic's four-month app-based program. Developed by physicians and supported by current clinical research, this program offers personalized educational content, food intake monitoring through computer vision, and a unique biomarker device for tracking metabolic responses to lifestyle changes.

Dr. Julia Flax from CoxHealth emphasized the program's importance in prevention and population health, expressing optimism for achieving population health goals. The program has already shown promising results, with participants experiencing significant weight loss and blood sugar management improvements.

Journeys Metabolic CEO Jim Howard sees this partnership as a model for other value-based organizations, highlighting CoxHealth's progressive approach in addressing insulin resistance and its implications for health reimbursement strategies.

In addition to the partnership, Journeys Metabolic announced the appointment of two key figures to its leadership team, further bolstering its commitment to combating metabolic disease through innovative and effective solutions.
