September 5, 2023- Earlier this month, Marathon Health clinched a deal to acquire Cerner Workforce Health Solutions, a move it hopes will enable it to broaden and widen the primary care services that Marathon sells primarily to self-insured companies.
The deal adds about 300 employees, 21 client businesses, 35 health centers and 300,000 members to Marathon and expands the company’s footprint in 15 states and cities, including significant expansion in Chicago, Kansas City and St. Louis, according to a press release. The deal closed Aug. 1.
The contracts allow employees to often access Marathon services for free or for a very low price, and that makes it more attractive to them to engage with the healthcare system for better outcomes, the company said.
