Angle Health Partners with Doctor

In 2020, Andy Leeka joined health care technology company Angle Health in Salt Lake City, Utah, as president. Under Andy Leeka’s leadership, Angle Health provides technology-enabled health care plans for employers. The company recently announced a partnership with Included Health to provide doctor-on-demand services related to urgent care and behavioral health.

Particularly since 2020, virtual health care solutions have emerged as a key tool in removing barriers to high-quality, affordable medical and behavioral health services. Angle Health Doctor on Demand by Included Health allows members to access high-quality virtual health care at any time of day from the convenience of their homes or remote locations. By expanding access to medical solutions, the service aims to improve outcomes for patients, members, and providers.

Through this new partnership, Angle Health members gain timely access to Included Health’s national network of medical professionals with minimal or no co-payments. They can access virtual care services from their accounts on either the Angle Health mobile app or the company’s online portal.

Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Leveraging an extensive background in health care administration, Andy Leeka serves as president of Angle Health, a medical insurance startup. Andy Leeka’s firm provides employers with leading-edge tools and human support that help them navigate the complex health care matrix and enroll employees in coverage best suited to their needs. One condition that some Angle Health patients need treatment for is respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).

A company blog article brought focus to the health challenges RSV poses to infants. A common virus, RSV is associated with moderate respiratory tract and lung infections in older children and adults. However, it can result in severe illness in babies. This is particularly true among infants and toddlers who were born prematurely or who have existing conditions such as chronic lung disease and asthma.

Prevention for high-risk infants starts with parents and family members washing hands frequently and covering their faces when sneezing or coughing. At the same time, extra care should be taken to ensure that bottles, pacifiers, and teething toys are routinely cleaned with soap and water.

One of the most effective ways of not spreading RSV to those who are vulnerable involves the common-sense approach of staying home when sick. When friends or relatives visit, it may make sense to not allow them to be in contact with a baby whose health is already fragile.
