Summary
Gather Health has been shown to improve care for older adults, particularly those on Medicare, who often face challenges that lead to emergency room visits due to chronic conditions. The company, founded in 2022 by Brent Asplin, integrates traditional medical services with home care and technology for remote monitoring, which has led to a 53% reduction in hospitalizations. With over 2,500 patients enrolled and plans to double this number by year-end, Gather Health aims to enhance value-based care in underserved areas like Dorchester, following a $17 million funding round to support its growth.
