Vanna helps George receive integrated healthcare - allowing him to achieve his goal of taking his family to the zoo
Tanya helps George to see how healthcare is critical to achieving his goal of going to the zoo with his family.
He receives a long-acting injectable antipsychotic medication for his schizoaffective disorder, as well as treatment for his foot ulcer caused by diabetes. This prevents his condition from worsening into needing amputation.
Soon, George feels healthy enough to take his family to the zoo.
