The Curation Health leadership team
Your team in navigating from fee-for-service to value-based care
Curation Health was founded by a team of healthcare veterans who realized providers and health plans desperately needed a solution to help them improve performance in risk-based contracts. They are backed by WindRose Health Investors. Curation Health was founded with this mission in mind:
To empower healthcare provider organizations and health plans to successfully navigate and scale from fee-for-service to value-based care, while supporting clinicians and improving overall patient care.
We take pride in working with the flexibility and speed of a startup grounded in decades of healthcare experience from leading institutions.
Kevin Coloton
Founder & Chief Executive Officer

Clinovations was acquired by the Advisory Board Company in 2014.
