Description
[edit]Risant was seeded with a $5 billion investment from Oakland, California-based Kaiser to build "a value-based technology platform, a suite of capabilities to improve how and where patients get their care."[1]
Risant has acquired Cone Health, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina and Geisinger Health System, headquartered in Danville, Pennsylvania.[2][3] Each health network will retain its own branding and will not adopt the Risant or Kaiser brand.[4]
