Public description

About the program

Accrete Health Partners is the venture and innovation platform of Bon Secours Mercy Health, one of the largest Catholic health systems in the United States. It describes its mandate as building a digital health ecosystem that aligns and unifies digital health teams, products and services rather than simply writing checks. In addition to direct venture investments, it runs Accrete Acceleration, a company-building and scaling function, and it has taken ownership and control positions in operating businesses. The team is led by a dedicated president with separate digital ventures and clinical digital ventures leadership. Bon Secours Mercy Health has been repeatedly cited as one of the most active provider investors in digital health.
