	"Discussion around innovation typically refers to technology. However, in the community health sector it's often about more. It's about people and processes and mostly relationships. One of the top advancements of 2016 that illustrates this concept is the growing integration of cross-system, care collaboration between primary care and mental health treatment providers. The goal of this coordination, dubbed "shared treatment planning," is to synchronize care between specialty mental health and primary care providers for a shared population of patients to improve outcomes and reduce redundancy and cost. Shared treatment planning allows all clinicians seeing the same patients to exchange and compare diagnoses, goals, medications, lab results and other relevant information." - Nicole A. Howard, Executive Vice President, Health Quality Partners
	"About 80% of people want to die at home, but only 20% do. Twenty-five percent of seniors will lose all their assets in the last five years of life due to the costs of advanced care, and that number is actually 41% if you don't take into consideration housing."
