Humana is teaming with Missouri-based health system Mercy to grow access to virtual health resources.

“This agreement unites two organizations striving to offer care that is more accessible, personalized, and coordinated—a commitment that is more important than ever right now,” said Jeremy Gaskill, Humana regional Medicare president, in a statement. “We’re pleased to broaden our efforts to improve the health and well-being of people in the communities we serve by teaming up with Mercy, an organization that shares our dedication to innovation in health care.”

“Mercy is committed to working with our communities to improve health care while also reducing the total cost of care,” said Shannon Sock, Mercy executive vice president, chief strategist and chief financial officer, in a statement. “Strong payer relationships, like this one with Humana, will help in our long-term journey to provide more seamless care for our patients."
