Mike Farris, CEO & Chairman of Surround Care

"How do we surround people with the things that they need to empower them, to enable them to make their best choice? How do we create an ecosystem that is wrapped around them in such a way that they feel the empowerment and they can get what they need, when they need it, how they need it? You know, healthcare's really difficult now, you know, navigating the healthcare system is hard. It doesn't have to be that way and it shouldn't be that way."

David Hartenbach, MD

"We are looking forward to combining two companies that are excellent at population health and value-based care. We have a physician group that has been working on population health for 27 years, and then we had this nationally recognized transformative healthcare company that works in value-based care and, and has examples of how they've improved the care at different insurance companies, payers, physician groups and systems. And together I think we will be able to use the synergies with both of our groups to move our organization forward, their organization forward. And by doing that, move all the organizations that we are partnering with forward."
