Improving Mental Wellness

Transforming Serious Illness Care
CaroNova is reimagining a healthcare system that is inclusive, patient-centered, and delivers better outcomes for Carolinians. From helping providers and payors remove barriers to empowering patients and families to have an active role in decision-making.
Strengthening the Healthcare Workforce
CaroNova and its partners are leading and supporting efforts to retain individuals in the Carolinas healthcare workforce focused on improving the workforce experience and preventing attrition from both individual health systems and from the healthcare field.
Our Methods
Model Design & Testing
We develop and pilot innovative care models that address real-world challenges. Through rigorous testing and evaluation, we identify what works, refine promising practices, and create sustainable business models that deliver measurable improvements in health outcomes across the Carolinas.
Payment & Policy Alignment
We work alongside stakeholders to ensure that payment structures and policies support rather than hinder effective care delivery. By aligning financial incentives with desired health outcomes and removing regulatory barriers, we help create an environment where innovative models can thrive and scale to reach more Carolinians in need.
Accelerating Learnings
We capture insights from our work and rapidly share evidence-based practices across networks of providers, policymakers, and community leaders. By connecting research to real-world application and facilitating knowledge exchange, we help accelerate the adoption of proven innovations and lay the groundwork for lasting systems change throughout the region.
