GALLIPOLIS, OH & NEW YORK, NY (November 21, 2024) — Holzer Health System, the largest health system serving southeastern Ohio and western West Virginia, and Pearl Health, a leading provider of physician enablement and risk management technology and services, today announced their partnership to deliver more proactive, efficient, patient-centered care for patients with Medicare.
Holzer Health System has served generations of families throughout the central Appalachian region since its founding in 1910. Now, with more than 160 providers across multiple outpatient clinics, hospitals, and post-acute services, Holzer has expanded the boundaries of care delivery in rural communities, offering unparalleled access to primary care physicians, specialists, skilled care teams, leading technology, and advanced healthcare services.
Through its partnership with Pearl Health, Holzer providers will gain access to data insights, financial tools, provider enablement technology, and a broad range of services designed to improve patient care and drive success in value-based Medicare programs.
As Medicare and other healthcare payers shift payment models from traditional fee-for-service to value-based care, it is imperative that we gain experience in this space. We believe this collaboration with Pearl Health will help us provide high quality care to our patients at lower cost.
Holzer President and CEO Rodney Stout, M.D. states “As Medicare and other healthcare payers shift payment models from traditional fee-for-service to value-based care, it is imperative that we gain experience in this space.
