She also leads clinical initiatives that are implemented to ensure that the vulnerable populations within Indiana receive high-quality and high-value health care most efficiently and economically.

Dr. Wright passionately advocates for improvements that impact CareSource members’ social determinants of health, particularly maternal and infant care both in the state of Indiana and across the nation. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), almost 20,000 babies died before their first birthday in the U.S. in 2020. The root cause of these deaths is linked to a range of reasons including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), prenatal risks, and preterm birth, among others. The CDC also reported a maternal mortality rate of 23.8 deaths per 100,000 live births in the U.S. in 2020. These statistics continue to motivate Dr. Wright to further pursue opportunities to get involved within the community as both a member of the CareSource team and as a thought leader in Indiana.
