In the spirit of National Minority Health Month, we are thrilled to present a special month-long podcast series in collaboration with UPMC Health Plan. Our third episode features an insightful conversation with Dr. Camille Clarke-Smith, the program director of quality improvement/Medicare/SNP STARs at UPMC Health Plan.
Dr. Clarke-Smith’s background as a health activist and wellness advocate has shaped her approach to community health through spiritual and community engagement with faith-based organizations and Medicare-enrolled members. Under her leadership, the UPMC for Life Medicare Faith and Wellness Program takes a holistic approach to community support by addressing social determinants of health and cultural barriers while emphasizing physical, mental, and personal wellness.
As we heard in our previous episode featuring UPMC Health Plan’s Freedom House 2.0 and Pathways to Work program, Dr. Clarke-Smith’s program is focused on providing comprehensive support to the community. By recognizing the importance of physical, mental, and personal well-being, she and her team are working tirelessly to make a lasting impact on the health of minority populations.
