Centric Health Resources and CHT to create sustainable healthcare system for Americans

St. Louis-based Centric Health Resources, Inc. joined the Center for Health Transformation (CHT) a high-impact collaboration of private and public sector leaders committed to creating a 21st Century Intelligent Health System that saves lives and money for all Americans. Centric, a new generation health services organization focused on improving the quality of life for people nationwide with rare, orphan, ultra-orphan, and chronic genetic disorders, is committed to working with CHT to create an efficient and effective U.S. healthcare system.

“We look forward to working with Centric because they are innovators of a comprehensive health management model that could herald real and sustainable change in patient care”

“Centric serves patients and their families with specialty pharmaceuticals and personalized, patient-centered health management services,” says Craig Kephart, President and CEO of Centric Health Resources. “Working with such a forward-thinking organization as CHT is one aspect of our continuing goal of transforming and shaping quality healthcare for all Americans, now and for generations to come.”

CHT supports Centric’s approach to fostering a culture of caring and a conviction that patients with chronic disorders require more than simply clinical therapy. Centric’s innovative model takes a comprehensive approach that addresses multiple aspects of a patient’s life and results in positive behavior change that benefits all constituents involved in the delivery of care—patients, manufacturers, payers, and physicians.

“At the Center for Health Transformation, we believe that innovative approaches to patients and drug-delivery are a critical part of healthcare reform,” says Newt Gingrich, CHT Founder and former Speaker of the House. “Centric puts patients first and has charted a new path to link those with rare, orphan diseases with transformative therapeutic advancements.”

“We look forward to working with Centric because they are innovators of a comprehensive health management model that could herald real and sustainable change in patient care,” says CHT President and CEO Nancy Desmond.
