Continuum Health Alliance, a physician enablement company, is pleased to announce that is has acquired a controlling interest in Partners in Care, an independent provider network and healthcare management company. The investment in PIC will enable advanced development and delivery of population health services to the New Jersey market. Continuum and PIC will leverage their combined population health resources to focus on improving quality and reducing the total cost of care for providers, payers, and patients.

"Since its inception in 1995, PIC has provided the highest level of service to our partners and clients," said Dr. Steven Goldberg, Chairman, PIC Board of Directors. "However, today's quickly evolving healthcare landscape demands even greater capabilities and assets. As one of the region's leading physician enablement companies with a proven record of success in practice optimization and value-based care, Continuum brings expanded reach and resources to our providers. We look forward to the combined strengths of both organizations resulting in a new enterprise with the ability to create innovative opportunities for our members."

"Continuum is dedicated to accelerating value-based care in New Jersey, and our new relationship with PIC will help us meet that goal," said Don McDaniel, Continuum CEO. "It's critical that providers think about managing the total cost of care—for their practice, patients, and payers. We are thrilled to align ourselves more closely with PIC and collaborate with them to sustain and grow a vibrant provider community."
