AmeriHealth Caritas Makes Strategic Investment in Deon Health
Investment to Support Deon Health’s Work to Advance Specialized, Coordinated Care for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
AmeriHealth Caritas announced today a strategic investment in Deon Health, a Michigan-based specialty managed care organization built specifically to serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
The investment will support Deon Health's work to advance specialized, coordinated care for people with I/DD through a purpose-built care model centered on individual needs, choices, and local communities, supported by specialized technology and deep relationships with local providers. Deon Health will remain independent, with no changes to its existing partnerships or care decisions. Direct support professionals remain central to Deon Health’s model. The investment does not change their employment or their relationships with the people they support.
“Through our work serving people with I/DD, we know that their care needs are deeply personal and require an approach built around the individual,” said Kelly Munson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Independence Health Group. “That understanding is core to our mission and one of the reasons we see such strong alignment with Deon Health’s specialized, locally focused approach. We are proud to support its work and help expand its impact.”
