WellSpan Health Medicare ACO manages a broad value-based care portfolio representing $700 million in revenue and more than 55,000 patients across central Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. Over the past three years, the ACO has generated more than $50 million in Medicare shared savings, outperforming 90% of ACOs nationwide, including a $17.6 million reduction in total cost of care over the most recent four quarters alone. Targeted heart failure interventions have reduced avoidable hospital admissions and emergency department utilization by nearly 12% in under a year. Led by its vice president of population health, Brandon Danz, PhD, the ACO is advancing prevention through genomics, AI-enabled population health tools and shared accountability across service lines.
