ElderHealth

ElderHealth was a Baltimore-based healthcare services company that specialized in providing Medicare Advantage plans and intensive care management for senior citizens. Founded in 1995, the company was a pioneer in the Social Health Maintenance Organization (S/HMO) model, which integrated medical, social, and personal care services to help elderly patients maintain independence. ElderHealth focused on high-risk geriatric populations, utilizing a multidisciplinary approach to manage chronic conditions and reduce hospitalizations. The company was backed by prominent venture capital firms before being acquired by Bravo Health in 2007. Its integrated care models significantly influenced subsequent developments in the Medicare Advantage and managed care sectors.
