Carbon Health and Prime Healthcare Partner to Provide Exceptional Care to Patients

Carbon Health, a leading healthcare provider, and Prime Healthcare, an award-winning national health system, announced the expansion of their strategic partnership, increasing healthcare access and redefining healthcare delivery to hundreds of thousands of patients in communities across the United States. Prime Healthcare is also formally joining Carbon Health Connect, Carbon Health's partnership ecosystem developed to increase access to critical health services and to streamline the patient experience as patients move across the care continuum.

"The expansion of our partnership with Prime Healthcare, and growing Carbon Health Connect, is another step towards driving coordinated, augmented care for patients," said Nita Sommers, Chief Growth Officer of Carbon Health. "It also enables us to deliver great healthcare to patients in more places via our innovative omnichannel care delivery model. We look forward to serving local communities."

Carbon Health and Prime Healthcare are aligned in their mission to make high-quality healthcare accessible to everyone. The collaboration brings Carbon Health's modern urgent care clinics to Prime Healthcare markets, allowing patients to instantly access care through virtual and streamlined in-clinic visits. Carbon Health and Prime Healthcare will develop technology and operational integrations, allowing Carbon Health patients to easily access Prime Healthcare's network of specialty care.

Carbon Health's unique platform was built to facilitate a more human connection between patients and providers. This vision aligns with Prime Healthcare's approach to creating healthier communities and delivering compassionate and personalized healthcare to all.

The partnership between Carbon Health and Prime Healthcare began in 2019 with Saint Mary's Health Network in Reno, Nevada with urgent care services powered by Carbon Health, currently available at several locations. Future plans include bringing Carbon Health's omnichannel healthcare delivery model to several Prime Healthcare markets across the nation, including Southern California, Kansas, and Missouri.

"Our goal is to deliver exceptional care to patients based on their needs, whether in our hospitals, physician offices, urgent care centers or through virtual visits," says Kavitha Bhatia, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Strategy for Prime Healthcare. "Carbon Health's innovative model enables patients to access care how and when they desire, creating an unparalleled patient experience. The partnership with Carbon Health expands Prime's model and expands access to quality healthcare for all. We look forward to continuing to expand this partnership in communities across the nation."
