These partnerships extend Vanna's reach and enhance its ability to positively impact the lives of people living with SMI.
Impact on Healthcare Costs and Quality of Life
Despite the $280B annual healthcare spend for SMI in the US, people with SMI still face reduced life expectancy and higher rates of preventable diseases. Vanna Health's programs aim to address these issues, translating to estimated nationwide savings of $40B-$70B annually. The company's programs are designed to provide compassionate care and empower individuals with SMI to live with dignity and respect as active participants in society.
