by <i>Crain’s Detroit Business</i>. According to Crain’s, under Dr.
Juocys’ direction as Chief Medical Officer of Medical Network One, a
physician’s services group, MNO introduced the <b>Community Care Travel
Team</b> (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. Dr. Joucys is a family medicine physician
practicing in Rochester, Michigan.</span></p>
