From Skepticism to Connection: How Community-Based Support Improves Health Outcomes and Member Trust

Health plans and providers increasingly recognize that addressing social determinants of health requires more than referrals, it requires trust, relationships, and sustained community connection. In this interactive webinar, join leaders from Highmark Health Options of West Virginia and Wider Circle as they share how peer-driven, community-based social support is transforming member engagement, improving quality outcomes, and strengthening retention—particularly in rural and underserved communities. Drawing on real-world implementation and member stories, speakers will explore how Wider Circle’s Connect for Life®program integrates seamlessly into managed care operations while remaining flexible enough to meet members where they are—through phone-based outreach, in-person gatherings, community events, and peer-led support. The conversation will also examine how this approach aligns with state and payer priorities, including Highmark’s focus on scalable, plug-and-play solutions that deliver measurable impact quickly.
