Resilience in Action: Lessons from Vaya Health and Jackson Care Connect on Tackling Climate-Related Weather Disasters
A new report from the ACAP Center for SDOH Innovation, developed in collaboration with Spring Street Exchange, highlights how ACAP member plans Vaya Health and Jackson Care Connect are responding to climate-related events in their communities.
The report outlines how both plans supported members through immediate disaster response, post-event recovery, and long-term resilience efforts to maintain access to health care and essential services.
As climate-related disasters become more frequent and severe, the report calls on health plans to move from reactive responses to proactive planning. Lessons show that adaptability, coordinated recovery, and long-term resilience are key to ensuring continuity of care and protecting the health and safety of members, staff and communities.
