Summary

Scott Middleton, founder of Your Health, announces a major three-way merger with Transitional Care Professionals of America and Providence Care, bringing together 55,000 active patients and a bold new operational model built on value-based care, 24/7 care teams, and the radical philosophy that the best way to save money in healthcare is to actually show up for patients. The single most important takeaway: when providers stop seeing patients and start writing orders over the phone, everyone loses — and the fix isn't more policy, it's simpler than that: see your damn patients.
