The MAVEN Project was in USA Today! You can read the article here.
The MAVEN (Medical Alumni Volunteer Expert Network) Project addresses the lack of access to specialty services for people who are unable to pay. With a growing network of more than 100 volunteer licensed providers representing over forty medical specialties, MAVEN uses telehealth technology to link its volunteer specialists with primary care providers, offering them the information they need to better care for patients through direct consults, education, and mentoring.
In partnership with the Illinois Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, VNA Foundation supported the MAVEN pilot project at three free clinics in the Chicago area. Three additional clinics are in the process of joining the pilot. You can read more about our partnership here.
VNA Foundation is proud to be partners in this innovative and critical initiative, and we look forward to witnessing the MAVEN project’s future successes in Chicago and beyond.
