CHS has established a substantial and effective value-based care network in markets from the South to the East Coast. By integrating Astrana’s powerful technology platform and care methodologies with CHS’s extensive provider network and strong payer partnerships, we aim to advance our shared mission of organizing and empowering providers, while enhancing the healthcare experience for patients nationwide."
