  What are Care Coordination Services?

Peak Vista supports patients using a whole-person approach that looks at more than just one visit or one health concern. We consider your physical health, mental health, dental health, and real-life factors that can affect your care — like transportation, income, and other access barriers.

Our Care Coordination team works closely with you and your care team to help make health care easier to understand, easier to manage, and easier to follow.

Care Coordinators help by:

  • Providing one-on-one support.
  • Working with your care team and caregivers.
  • Offering clear health education.
  • Connecting you to helpful services.

Why This Matters: When your care is organized and supported, it’s easier to stay on track, feel informed, and focus on your health — not the logistics.

  How You Can Meet with a Care Coordinator

Care Coordination at Peak Vista includes different types of support, depending on your needs. Some Care Coordinators work directly with patients, while others provide support behind the scenes to help care stay organized and on track.

How Care Coordinators may connect with you:

  • In-person visits at a health center (when needed).
  • Phone calls.
  • Secure messages or email.

Patients with more complex health or care needs may work directly with a Care Coordinator who meets the patients one-on-one. Other members of the Care Coordination team may support your care through phone-based outreach and coordination.

Why This Matters: Having flexible ways to connect helps ensure you can get support in the way that works best for you — whether that’s in person or remotely.

  How Does Care Coordination Work?

Care Coordination often begins when your provider identifies that you may benefit from extra support. You can also ask your care team about Care Coordination during a visit. Once connected, a Care Coordinator becomes a point of support for your health needs.

This step may include:

  • A referral from your primary care provider.
  • A conversation about your health goals and concerns.
  • Identifying challenges like transportation, cost, or access to care.

Why This Matters: Getting connected early helps ensure you don’t have to manage complex care on your own.

  CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE

Your Care Coordinator takes time to understand your full health picture. This includes your physical health, mental health, dental care, and everyday factors that affect your ability to get care.You may be asked about your needs, preferences, and what matters most to you.

This step may include:

  • Reviewing your care plan and current treatments.
  • Talking about barriers to care.
  • Identifying services or support that may help.

Why This Matters: Understanding your full situation helps create care that fits your life, not just your diagnosis.

Care Coordinators help connect services and providers so your care plan is easier to follow. They work with your care team to help make sure everyone shares the same information. This helps reduce gaps and confusion in care.

  • Coordinating care across medical, dental, and behavioral health services.
  • Helping schedule appointments or referrals.
  • Supporting communication between providers.

Why This Matters: When your care is organized, you’re less likely to miss important steps or receive mixed messages.
