Essen Health Care
Kain partnered with Essen Health Care, the largest independent primary care and multispecialty group in New York City. Essen cares for ~16% of the population of the Bronx and is fully integrated to offer the continuum of care to its patients with 450+ providers across the traditional office setting, urgent care, and home and nursing home visits. The Bronx remains a very underserved market, with 80% fewer physicians than Manhattan and both higher poverty rates as well as higher prevalence of medical conditions. Kain’s investment will help bring more access and engagement to patients in the Bronx to improve the health quality among the population. Kain will assist Essen in continuing to consolidate the Bronx market and transition the business to value-based care and risk contracting.
