To us, the golden rule is always the right way to go. Treat others as you want to be treated. It’s really as simple as that. Every patient should get the same quality of care and, most importantly, that care should be catered to the patient.
So we created Equity Compass 360°, a company-wide initiative dedicated to eliminating health disparities and delivering equal care to all Moda Health members.
You may be wondering then, why is the golden rule so important to us? It’s a good question, now here’s the harsh reality: study after study has shown that our nation has a gap in quality care for all people, even those with health benefits. This gap is caused by socioeconomic status. That means that people receive different care based on factors like their income, education, primary language, race and ethnicity, where they live, etc. It’s creating an inequality in our society that we at Moda Health will not stand for.
For Equity Compass 360°, we’ve set what some have told us are pretty big goals. That’s okay; we like to aim high, especially when it leads to fairness. We have a mission and vision, and are more than ready to tackle our goals. Let us tell you more about them.
Mission: To eliminate health disparities in order to provide the highest quality of care to all Moda Health members and the communities we serve.
Vision: Within five years, and into the future, Moda Health will continue to improve the quality of care for all members by becoming an organization sensitive to the diversity of our entire membership.

We have exciting news to share. ODS is changing its name to Moda Health.
Moda comes from the latin term "modus" and means "a way". We picked it because that's what we are here to do: help our communities find a way to better health.
Together, we can be more, be better.
