Company Description

Headquartered in the Washington, DC area, Risant Health partners with nonprofit, community-based systems—starting with Geisinger—to expand access to care that prioritizes health outcomes and affordability.

The team provides strategic guidance, fosters cross-functional collaboration, and ensures excellence across every engagement—driving innovation, efficiency, and quality in healthcare delivery.
