Catalyst Health Network Expands to East Texas, Adding More Than 100 Physicians

Catalyst Health Network Expands to East Texas, Adding More Than 100 Physicians: Catalyst Health Network is extending its reach by adding Strive Clinical Network, a group of over 100 primary care physicians throughout East Texas. Catalyst is a nonprofit that focuses on allowing physicians to maintain their independence while coordinating care and reducing costs for practitioners and patients through value-based care. 'This marks Catalyst's first expansion outside of the North Texas area and demonstrates the value and benefit our model can create for physicians, patients and payors across Texas,' said Christopher Crow, M.D. president of Catalyst via release. The expansion will give Strive access to Catalyst's programs, resources, and value-based contracts that emphasize the long-term health of patients, rather than the number of procedures. Strive will also have access to value-based Medicare Advantage plan contracts. ''Health' and 'Value' are ubiquitous buzzwords in American health care — Catalyst is actually achieving both in tangible ways,' said Doug Curran, M.D.
