Sage Growth Partners Announces New Marketing and Communications Partnership with Valer

Partnership to provide demand generation, thought leadership, and media services

BALTIMORE, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sage Growth Partners (SGP), a healthcare growth strategy and marketing firm, has announced its selection as the communications and marketing agency partner for Valer.

Valer's technology simplifies and speeds prior authorization by automating submissions, status checking, verification, reporting and EHR synchronization across all mid-to-large sized healthcare settings, specialties and payers. Valer also gives providers insight into payer ruling patterns and patient access team productivity metrics—data that isn't currently available anywhere else.

"Valer helps to ensure visibility across the entire prior authorization workflow," said Steve Kim, MD, co-founder and CEO. "We eliminate the burdens of manual processes that currently inundate our healthcare system and enable organizations to simplify and speed prior authorization. It was important for us to choose a marketing agency partner that has a deep understanding of our technology and data and is able to quickly generate measurable results for us. Sage perfectly meets that criteria."

The partnership between the companies will primarily focus on elevating Valer's brand awareness in the market, by accelerating deal cycles, nurturing client prospects and creating insightful thought leadership and media materials.

"Sage is widely-recognized for helping healthcare organizations solve complex problems, create value and drive growth in competitive markets," said Boh Hatter, Sage Growth Partners' Chief Marketing Officer and one of the firm's managing partners. "Our deep market experience allows us to quickly deliver results for our clients and we are grateful for the opportunity to help Valer further achieve their mission of helping patients receive the care they need and deserve."
