Testimonials
My Vytalize care guide was a little angel. I needed a new walker and she got me a brand new one. I was paying $100 / month for insulin and she found it for me for $15 through another source. She got me set up on meals delivery service. My sugar is the lowest it has been in years.

I like the camaraderie of being part of [a] physician team because I’m in a solo practice, so it’s nice to have a team behind me. I was in another ACO which was successful, but I left more based on personality than I did on finances. I enjoy working with this team, both on the Vytalize end and the IPA that I’m part of, which runs the ACO with Vytalize.
Dr. Mark Shapiro – New York
The experience has been really positive. I don’t see any downside of getting into Vytalize. I believe it’s better for the practice and for the patient as well.
Dr. Juan Gonzalez – Texas
To have someone else there who can help gives me comfort. My Vytalize Care Team talked to me and my husband about our health challenges and…acted as a friend. It’s nice that my care team can follow up because I feel overwhelmed.
Teresa & Arthur
It’s nice to have someone you can pick up the phone and call to say ‘something’s wrong’. I was very impressed because my Vytalize care guide made us feel like she really cared. Their help really made a difference when she called me after I got out of the hospital to make sure I had my test results, which was nice because it was a lot to manage on my own.
Terry
Vytalize Health enables me to offer Medicare-approved remote services to my patients with chronic conditions. This improves the quality of patient care by creating touchpoints with my patients between visits. I’m able to monitor their wellness and provide support that efficiently works with my Practice.
