Solera adds GemCare to network

PHOENIX - Solera Health has added Ohio-based GemCare Wellness to its national network of diabetes providers. Solera's network is comprised of providers recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as diabetes prevention program (DPP) providers. GemCare offers a personalized program focused on diet adjustments, increased physical activity and stress management. Since starting its program, most participants lost weight and 30% were no longer considered to have pre-diabetes at its conclusion, according to a press release. "One-third of adults in the U.S. have pre-diabetes, and some do not even know it," said James Piper, vice president and general manager at GemCare Wellness. "Solera shares our passion to make a difference in preventing diabetes, and through their connections with employers and health plans, we can broaden our outreach and meet patients that will realize real benefits from our program."
