PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Longevity Health, the nation's fastest‑growing and second-largest Institutional Special Needs Plan (I‑SNP), today announced the launch of a multi‑state, value‑based joint venture with Journey Skilled Nursing. Beginning this month, Longevity and Journey will collaborate to care for Special Needs Plan members living in Journey nursing facilities across Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky.
This partnership marks Longevity's first expansion into Georgia, increasing its footprint to 16 states and 500+ skilled nursing communities nationwide. Designed to increase access to high‑quality, coordinated care for residents with complex medical needs, while supporting skilled nursing facility operators through a transparent, value‑based approach, this joint venture reflects a shared commitment to improved outcomes in the skilled nursing environment.
"We're thrilled to partner with Journey and align around a common mission to improve outcomes across the skilled nursing ecosystem," said Ben Lerer, CEO of Longevity Health. "By combining Journey's strengths with Longevity's clinical and operational expertise, we're creating new opportunities to enhance care delivery, improve financial performance, and better serve members, families, and our facility partners."

Longevity partners with skilled nursing facility operators through a collaborative I‑SNP model that aligns incentives, drives higher‑quality care, and improves the member experience—creating shared success for facilities and the residents they serve. In addition to its I-SNP offering, Longevity also provides an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) solution complementing the I-SNP presence by extending additional capabilities to serve Original Medicare beneficiaries.
