Jackson Care Connect Patients Over Profits!

We, the Jackson Care Connect members, their families, and the Jackson County community do not agree with the transfer of providers from JCMH to Columbia Care. We demand that you stop this transfer because it is a drastic cut to our services and quality of care due to Columbia Care not having the appropriate number of staff and vital wrap around services that we need! We know that you are doing this to save a buck no matter how your PR spins it. We also know that you are well aware that Columbia Care cannot support the transition of this many members and their service needs, but you continue the transfer because less services means you pay less per member. We, the Jackson Care Connect members, their families, and the Jackson County community will not stand for this! We demand you to pick the Patients over Profits!

Why is this important?

I am a Jackson Care Connect member who thinks that Jackson Care Connect CCO should ask their members before they change our main provider. I am concerned with them changing our providers to small agencies that cannot meet our service needs to save a buck. Patients over Profits!
