Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and Geisinger Health have launched Risant Health, a nonprofit organization aimed at expanding and accelerating the adoption of value-based care in diverse, multi-payer, multi-provider, community-based health system environments. Geisinger will be the first health system to join Risant Health through acquisition. Risant Health will operate separately and distinctly from Kaiser Permanente’s core integrated care and coverage model while building upon Kaiser Permanente’s 80 years of expertise in value-based care.

Kaiser Permanente and Geisinger to Merge in Health System Deal.

Kaiser Permanente plans to acquire Geisinger Health to create a new nonprofit group, Risant Health, that will operate independently and focus on developing nonprofit community health systems. The deal is subject to regulatory review. Kaiser hopes to invest $5 billion in Risant over the next five years and add five or six health systems to the group. The move is a response to the increasing consolidation of the healthcare industry by large for-profit companies. The new venture aims to invest in technology and preventive care to keep patients healthy and reduce the need for expensive specialty and hospital care.
