Upward Health

Trust and connection are at the heart of whole-person care. We’re grateful to have Dr. Elizabeth Bogel Ryan sharing this important perspective and reinforcing the importance of meeting patients where they are.

Upward Health is heading to Washington, D.C. for the ACAP CEO Summit 2026 on October 1–2. We’re excited to have Glen Moller, Chief Executive Officer, and Seth Zuckerman, Chief Business Officer, representing Upward Health at this year’s summit. The Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP) CEO Summit brings together leaders from community health plans and the broader health care community to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss the issues shaping the future of care for Medicaid and other underserved populations. As health plans continue to navigate a rapidly changing healthcare landscape, conversations around whole-person care, access, and better outcomes for high-need communities are more important than ever. Glen and Seth look forward to connecting with fellow health plan leaders, sharing perspectives, and exploring opportunities to work together to improve care for the communities we serve.

Bringing California leaders together! Some of California’s West Coast Supervisors of Care Coordination and Managers recently came together for a day focused on collaboration, connection, and strengthening our work across markets.

It was also a great opportunity for team bonding and relationship-building among leaders from across the state. Upward Health is proud of the teamwork and collaboration that continue to support the patients and communities we serve.

During Suicide Prevention Week, we’re reminded that sometimes, simply being there can make all the difference. In this patient testimonial, Raina shares what it was like to experience a very difficult period in her life while struggling with her mental health. At a time when she felt like she had reached a very low point, her Care Specialist, Nancy Rowemanns, showed up for her when she needed someone most. Nancy had never met Raina before that first interaction, but she didn’t hesitate to be there for her during a moment of distress. For Raina, that support became a source of hope, and she describes Nancy as the “light at the end of the tunnel.” This is what compassionate, person-centered care can look like: meeting someone where they are, listening, and reminding them that they don’t have to face difficult moments alone. During Suicide Prevention Week, let’s remember the power of reaching out, showing up, and letting someone know they matter. Listen to Raina's full story: https://lnkd.in/eKjGr6cs

At Upward Health, whole-person care includes helping patients stay connected to preventive services that support long-term health.
