The company partners with health plans and takes on financial risk, guaranteeing outcomes in both quality and cost of care. Its whole-person approach fully integrates physical and behavioral health, while also intervening to solve challenges associated with social determinants of health.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe are very grateful to have a strong, long-term relationship with Heritage Group and our other investors, and we are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead,\u201d said Glen Moller, CEO of Upward Health. \u201cWe look forward to providing exceptional, in-person and technology-enabled care to an expanding number of patients across the county, all while lowering the total cost of care for our health plan partners.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nWithin the last year, Upward Health has rapidly grown its partnerships with health plans and provider organizations. This led to significant growth across the country and a patient volume increase of over 600%.

Last month, Upward Health announced that it was among 22 organizations that were granted a contract to launch a High Needs Population ACO under the new Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH) program launched this year by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The ACO REACH model encourages healthcare providers to improve the coordination and quality of care offered to traditional Medicare beneficiaries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe have been thrilled to partner with Upward Health during this incredible period of growth. The company\u2019s track record of improving patient outcomes is testament to their clinical staff who provide exceptional care,\u201d said Lauren Brueggen, Partner at Heritage Group. \u201cWe look forward to continuing our partnership with Glen Moller and the rest of the Upward Health leadership team to support their mission of providing the highest quality care for complex patients throughout the nation and improving financial results for health plan partners.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nABOUT UPWARD HEALTH\n<\/p>\n<p>\nUpward Health is an in-home multidisciplinary provider that partners with health plans and other risk-bearing entities to address the unique needs of the most high-risk, high-need users of the health care system today.
