Cone Health president and CEO Mary Jo Cagle said: “Today marks a new chapter not only for Cone Health but for healthcare in the North Carolina Piedmont and beyond.
“Cone Health has been a leader in value-based care for more than a decade. Becoming part of Risant Health accelerates our mission to deliver on the promise of better care at lower costs for all.”
