Spectrum Health wants to help shape healthcare delivery of the future, not react to it.
The 12-hospital health system based in Grand Rapids, Mich., has just created a $100 million venture capital fund to invest in personalized medicine, information technology, population health management and other emerging technologies. It’s looking for companies offering solutions to providing better, lower-cost care, said Roger Jansen, Spectrum’s chief strategy officer.
