Monogram Health and Memorial Hermann Join Forces to Improve Outcomes for Patients Impacted by Polychronic Conditions

New joint venture leverages organizations' clinical expertise to deliver high-quality, in-home care to Southeast Texans with complex chronic conditions

NASHVILLE, Tenn. and HOUSTON, June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Monogram Health, the nation's leading value-based provider of in-home, evidence-based care and benefit management services for patients living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage kidney disease (ESKD), announced it is partnering with Memorial Hermann Health System, the largest not-for-profit health system in Southeast Texas, to improve the health outcomes of patients living with polychronic conditions.

"Monogram Health has consistently proven to be both an innovator and leader in risk-based in-home care delivery and management," said Feby Abraham, executive vice president and chief strategy officer for Memorial Hermann. "We share a common goal to provide whole-person, outcomes-oriented care, and this strategic partnership will further enable Memorial Hermann to adopt an advanced risk platform that progresses access to high quality care for our patients – inside and outside the 'four walls' of the health system."

Monogram's next-generation, specialty risk model has been shown to achieve improved patient outcomes, experience and quality of life while reducing medical costs. The new joint venture connects Monogram's extensive in-home evidence-based care and benefit management services with Memorial Hermann's high-quality, affiliated medical staff and physician teams to work together to slow the progression of CKD and ESKD.

"Joining forces with a world-renowned health system like Memorial Hermann is both an honor and a significant opportunity," said Dr. Aash Shah, MD, Chief Growth Officer of Monogram Health. "By aligning our unique kidney care model and specialized expertise with their distinguished physicians and providers, we will accelerate our mutual efforts to continuously enhance and streamline CKD and ESKD care while helping Southeast Texans live happier, more fulfilling lives."

This partnership marks the growth of Monogram's footprint in the Texas Gulf Coast. The company has forged partnerships with leading health systems including AdventHealth, Banner Health, Point32Health and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
