Pearl Health's purpose-built technology uses data science to help primary care providers focus their attention on the patients who are most likely to need it, enabling physicians and clinical staff to embrace a more proactive care model that empowers them to provide more holistic, personalized treatment. Pearl's partnership with Story Health will give primary care providers access to Story Health's innovative specialty care model, through which patients receive world-class, timely treatment at home with continuous support.

Story Health will deliver cardiology care with a focus on chronic cardiovascular conditions such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, and, arrhythmia. Story's technology-enabled approach helps to provide members with treatment optimization, care planning, and precision sub-specialist escalations at scale. For patients, this means less burden from frequent clinic visits, more convenient medical testing, and seamless medication access with Story Health.

"As healthcare continues to evolve beyond fee-for-service care, Primary Care Providers (PCPs) require specialists that have aligned incentives to enable a smoother transition to value-based care.  At Story Health, we provide a new type of cardiology practice that places preventative medicine at the forefront with clinical pathways built specifically for cardiological conditions that deliver proven outcomes. We are excited about working with Pearl Health and their provider community," said Dr. Ashul Govil, Chief Medical Officer at Story Health.

"Primary Care Providers in the Pearl Community are passionate about delivering proactive patient care aligned with value. As more of primary care makes the transition from fee-for-service to value, it's becoming increasingly important to give PCPs access to mission-driven specialty care partners," said Gabriel Drapos, Chief Operating Officer at Pearl Health. "We're thrilled to be partnering with Story Health, who we believe has developed a novel approach to better manage patients with cardiovascular disease burdens. We're excited to work together to deliver better outcomes for patients and providers alike."
