Southwestern Health Resources Leveraging Home Health to Achieve ACO Success, Lower Total Cost of Care

Southwestern Health Resources (SWHR) is an integrated health care network formed in 2015 with the purpose of filling gaps in care. It’s also part of one of the top Next Generation Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in the nation.

Having multiple home-based care programs — both internally and through preferred provider relationships with area home health agencies — has likewise played a major role.
