A NEXT GENERATION INVESTOR

Health Evolution Partners is dedicated to realizing value in health care. We were founded in 2007 to lead the next generation of investors who specialize in specific industry sectors. We focus on health care companies providing services, technologies, and information solutions that improve the delivery, organization, and financing of health care. Our substantial financial resources and deep industry knowledge, experience, and relationships allow us to identify and support the industry’s best ideas and help turn them into outstanding and valuable companies.

HEALTH CARE OPPORTUNITIES

The U.S. health care system is burdened by increasing costs and concerns about quality. These pressures and a volatile policy environment are driving a search for new products and better ways to finance, organize and deliver health care. Next generation health care companies will succeed by increasing value through products and services that improve:

• Quality, safety and prevention

• Utilization and compliance with medical evidence

• Collection and use of personal and population-based health information

• Efficiency and cost competitiveness

• Individual control and personal customization of health care services

REALIZING VALUE

Health Evolution Partners adds unique value to our limited partners and portfolio companies. Through our specialized industry expertise and a strategic network that includes the nation’s largest health care benefits purchasers, policy and regulatory leaders, senior investment professionals, and health care industry experts and operators, we are able to:

• Distinguish high potential companies from others

• Navigate and mitigate business, policy and regulatory risks

• Develop and shape the market for our portfolio companies

• Enhance the value of our companies

Purchaser Value Initiative

One of the ways Health Evolution Partners has institutionalized these capabilities is through the Purchaser Value Initiative (PVI). The PVI is a coalition of state pension funds and large employers -- led by the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) -- that will work to accelerate adoption of promising innovations that have the potential to dramatically improve health care quality and lower costs.

CalPERS, a Health Evolution investment partner, is joined in the PVI by four other major purchasers: Wisconsin Department of Employee Trust Funds, Washington State Health Care Authority, Pennsylvania Employees Benefit Trust Fund, and GE.

These five organizations purchase more than $12B in health care services each year.

Our partnership with CalPERS, along with other purchasers committed to supporting health care innovation, can help shape the market to improve uptake of new solutions.
