The following five Michigan organizations make up Affirmant Health Partners: Saginaw-based Covenant HealthCare; Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System; St. Joseph-based Spectrum Health Lakeland; Lansing-based Sparrow Health System; and Kalamazoo-based Bronson Healthcare Group.
The decision by Affirmant Health Partners’ board to shutter operation of the 5,400-physician network was attributed to several factors, including changes in strategy among the five participating systems and reductions in Medicare participation.
“The work of Affirmant will long out-live our years of operations,” Katy Velton, interim COO and communications executive of Affirmant Health Partners, said in a Nov. 5 news release. “Through our work, we helped participating health systems develop strong programs that will serve them well into the future as they continue their journeys in value-based care.”
The organizations that make up Affirmant Health Partners earned $75 million in shared savings in four years, according to the news release.
