Organization Description Aspire Health’s Population Health division was created to improve the health and well-being in Monterey County. Owned by Montage Health and Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System, Population Health offers programs and services that help people live their best lives.
We collaborate with doctors and hospitals, health plans, patients, and community partners to promote wellness, improve care, and help lower healthcare costs for everyone.
We help people find solutions to overcome barriers to good health — financial, emotional behavioral, and clinical — so they can be more active, more independent, and more in control of their health.
We also help communities in our county address major health issues. We have a diabetes epidemic, and Population Health is leading the effort to combat this disease.
