DENVER, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Centura Health
and DaVita HealthCare Partners (NYSE:DVA) today unveiled FullWell,

venture, a company that aims to bring greater value to health care
and lower costs for consumers in Colorado and Kansas.
"We are excited to announce the name of our joint effort and to
begin to realize the vision of empowering physicians to succeed in
the health care system of the future, where keeping communities

immediate access to data analytics. This data delivers critical
information to support early identification of patients at high
risk for chronic health conditions and real-time feedback on the
efficacy of treatments consumers may be receiving.

consumers' needs and know FullWell will empower providers to make
critical decisions across the entire care continuum," said
Gary Campbell, president and CEO of

CHN providers in their never-ending quest to deliver high-value
care by providing them with improved consumer and population health
data."
FullWell will employ tools to help engage, inform and empower
consumers to actively manage and maintain their health through the
trusting relationship with their provider. Additionally, FullWell
brings access to improved information systems, team-based care
coordination and financial incentives for better health outcomes to
