May 7th, 2018

Recently, WellOne submitted its 2017 annual report to the Bureau of Primary Health Care. This report provides the federal government with various statistical and demographical information about WellOne and the patients that we serve. It is used to evaluate WellOne’‘s performance under the provisions of our federal grant. I would like to share with you some of the highlights from this report, which provide insights about the patients that we served in 2017:

* A total of 16,154 unique patients received services from WellOne during 2017. This total amounts to 1,056 more patients than were served by WellOne during 2016 and represents the highest total in the organization’s history.
