About Sprinter Health
Sprinter Health is a medical practice that provides in-home visits with highly trained “Sprinters.” Sprinters are phlebotomists trained to have a combination of Medical Assistant and Community Health Worker skills. Sprinter Health focuses on members that have historically been disengaged and attempts to engage them through targeted outreach, providing services in a members’ home.
The Alliance will leverage this program to close gaps in care for Alliance members in Merced County for an initial pilot year.
