Print Private equity firm, Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, launched a platform Tuesday that funnels money into healthcare providers and payers using value-based care payment models. The firm has invested an initial $300 million in the portfolio company named Valtruis. "We believe Valtruis is well positioned to leverage WCAS's longstanding relationships and history of building market-leading healthcare businesses... to accelerate the adoption of value-based care," said David Caluori, general partner at WCAS, in a statement. The firm did not say if they had initial investment targets. "Companies thinking differently about areas of healthcare ... so those working with really complex conditions like oncology, nephrology, substance use disorder, cardiac care where patients have multiple co-morbidities and benefit from direct engagement with their care team and using data analytics to engage the care earlier and more effectively," said Tracy Bahl, managing partner at Valtruis.
