Geisinger will play an important role in shaping Risant Health's strategy, platform, and operational model, maintaining its name and mission while gaining access to capital, technology, and resources to fuel improvements in facilities and patient care. Risant Health expects to acquire 4 to 5 additional leading community-based health systems over the next 4 to 5 years, with a focus on delivering superior health outcomes and a lower total cost of care through diverse business models.

Kaiser Permanente acquires Geisinger to expand value-based care access.

Kaiser Permanente has agreed to acquire Geisinger, creating a new national not-for-profit system that encompasses health insurance, hospitals, and medical groups. The deal marks the biggest proposed healthcare acquisition in recent memory and will be the biggest test yet to see if state and federal antitrust enforcers buy the argument that cross-market hospital and insurance deals won’t hurt consumers and won’t thwart competition.
