The combination of Evolent and Valence Health brings together two innovative companies that serve health care providers in the transition to value-based care. Evolent was founded in 2011 to support providers in moving to a population health model of care delivery and to successfully manage performance-based payment arrangements. Valence Health, based in Chicago, IL, was founded in 1996 and provides value-based administration, population health and advisory services. In its 20 year history, Valence Health has developed particular expertise in the Medicaid and pediatric markets, and today supports approximately 600,000 lives across 10 long-term operating partners.

Together, the organizations will be able to offer comprehensive services and technology across a variety of populations and will serve more than 1.8 million lives across 23 long-term operating partners at closing, comprised of provider-sponsored health plans, accountable care organizations and full-risk entities.
