DAYTON, Ohio, Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CareSource, a nonprofit, nationally recognized managed care organization, and Radiant Alliance, an expanding consortium of nonprofit health and human services providers, announced today the finalization of a strategic alliance to improve health outcomes and quality of life for individuals with complex health needs.

“This alliance with independent, nonprofit providers means CareSource now has better access to more integrated health care for complex populations,” said Josh Boynton, senior vice president of complex health solutions at CareSource. “Our ability to drive efficiencies, increase transparency and create advanced payment models will benefit those we collectively serve and create cost savings for government-sponsored health care programs.”

Radiant Alliance provider members maintain their unique missions while collectively enabling the adoption of best practices, efficiencies and participation in alternative payment models. Currently, Radiant Alliance includes Genacross Lutheran Services, Metta Healthcare and United Church Homes.

Radiant Alliance member organizations provide services that include chronic disease management, end-of-life care, housing, long-term nursing care, assisted living, short-term skilled nursing and therapy, respite care, affordable independent living homes for seniors and services for at-risk youth.

"Today marks a transformative alliance between Radiant Alliance and CareSource, reflecting our shared commitment to prioritize people over profits,” said Rev. Dr. Kenneth Daniel, CEO of Radiant Alliance and United Church Homes. “Together, we embark on a journey to redefine health care with an aspiration to ensure every person with complex health needs receives the compassionate, comprehensive care they deserve."

“We are already seeing early successes that highlight the significant potential of this alliance,” said Kent Anderson, CEO of Metta Health and president of Radiant Alliance. “Radiant Alliance’s ability to show cost savings allows nonprofit providers to focus on what really matters – our missions to improve the health and quality of life of our patients.”

“Genacross is excited to join with CareSource and member organizations in Radiant Alliance to build care models that more effectively address a variety of medical and social needs for individuals,” said Rick Marshall, president and CEO of Genacross Lutheran Services and treasurer of Radiant Alliance. “Genacross’ long history of serving at-risk youth, older adults and their families will be enriched by the aggregated resources of this alliance, which also allows us to serve more people.”
