The Sterling Initiatives Managed Preventative Care Organization (SIMPCO) is a new, common sense paradigm for improving the health of Americans. At its core are the types of preventative health services available to a smaller than optimal percentage of the Managed Care Organization’s Medicaid demographic. SIMPCO proposes to take a place alongside other MCOs, and will focus on preventive and promotive health services that additionally provide assistance to the collective efforts of other MCOs. SIMPCO’s efforts would produce specific outcomes, including increasing access to care, and improving both objective and perceived quality with healthcare services in its markets. We seek to start with an engagement of 500,000 lives across Illinois.

• We, the undersigned, want to identify ourselves as part of The SIMPCO Solution.
• We support SIMPCO's approach of creating a statewide entity focused entirely on transforming health.
• We support SIMPCO's goal of empowering citizens to be better stewards of their own care.
• We support SIMPCO's focus on health prevention and health promotion.
• We support SIMPCO's effort to improve access to established methods of traditional care.
• We support SIMPCO's approach to offering remedies for inappropriate healthcare resource utilization. 
• We support SIMPCO's desire to eliminate healthcare disparities.

We welcome the jobs and business opportunities that will be created among approximately 100 BEP-certified companies in every part of the state, and we look forward to participating in the effort.

We encourage the State of Illinois to expeditiously support this effort!
