What you need to know about the 'East Coast Kaiser,' per Hospitalogy's Blake Madden
Today Risant Health completed its acquisition of Geisinger Health. I interviewed THE expert on the topic for some much-needed context.
It’s official. Today, Kaiser Permanente acquired Geisinger Health, a health system based in Pennsylvania, and folded it into the nonprofit Risant Health. What we know so far is that this is part of an effort to create a company to operate nonprofit community health systems. Kaiser also said that it plans to drop $5 billion into Risant in the next five years, and it’s shopping for other health systems to fold into its network.
