Together Health Network fills a consumer need across Michigan for trusted and complete healthcare that is person-focused, physician led, and powered by the Michigan-based health systems of Ascension and Trinity Health. Launched in May 2014 to support population health management, the clinically integrated network will provide advanced care coordination services and launch new, competitive health plan products. As the network develops, it is estimated that 75 percent of Michigan residents will be within 20 minutes of one of the network’s 25 hospitals and numerous ambulatory centers and physician offices.
