Mount Carmel Health Partners is part of Mount Carmel Health System, which has more than 1,200 primary care and specialty physicians.

The goal of the ACO is to use coordinated care to improve health outcomes while cutting healthcare costs. Both organizations will analyze data on quality, costs, and utilization to help identify opportunities to improve care.

“This partnership with Anthem furthers our goals of our clinically integrated network to provide the best of care to the individual patient, care for the population as a whole and do so in a cost effective manner,” said Daniel Wendorff, MD, president of Mount Carmel Health Partners.
