Canopy was founded in 2015 by University of California San Francisco Health and John Muir Health in Walnut Creek. Providence is a Renton, Wash.-based provider with 52 hospitals across seven states.
Pending regulatory approval, Canopy’s 50,000 members will be able to access nearly 500 additional providers and care at Providence hospitals in Santa Rosa, Napa, Petaluma and Healdsburg.
CEO Mike Robinson told The Press Democrat the expansion aims to provide an affordable alternative to Oakland-based Kaiser Permanente. Kaiser told the newspaper in a statement it has created a “unique integrated care experience” over the last 70 years, with 40 of those in Sonoma County.
Though Providence will manage the four hospitals within Canopy’s network, Providence Medical Group and its physicians will operate outpatient clinics.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Fall Payer Issues Roundtable, taking place November 17–19 in Chicago, payer executives and healthcare leaders will come together to discuss value-based care, regulatory changes, cost management strategies and innovations shaping the future of payer-provider collaboration.
