Insights & Perspectives

The Managed Care Resource Alliance (MCRA) is pleased to announce that Versant Health has joined its growing community of organizations committed to advancing collaboration, insight, and innovation across the managed care industry.

On May 6, 2021, six companies gathered for what we called a "monthly meeting." There was no polished agenda, no established playbook.

And looking back, I find myself both humbled and energized by how far we have traveled together.
