According to Crain’s, under Dr. Juocys’ direction as Chief Medical Officer of Medical Network One, a physician’s services group, MNO introduced the Community Care Travel Team (CCTT). The CCTT, a complement to the Patient Centered Medical Home,  is a multi-disciplinary health care team (registered nurse, certified diabetes educator, registered dietitian, lifestyle coach, behavioral health specialist and exercise specialist) that brings its combined expertise to individuals at PCP’s offices, the worksite, and educational/community centers to evaluate, provide counseling, and help reduce the risk of complications from chronic conditions. Because of Michigan’s high obesity and type II diabetes rates, nearly 70% of the CCTT’s current efforts focus on patients with diabetes.
