Driving Value in Digital Health

We created Accrete Health Partners, the venture and innovation platform of Bon Secours Mercy Health, to build a leading digital health ecosystem – one that aligns and unifies the best digital health teams, products and services to innovate and scale with a collective strength that is greater than the sum of its parts.

We partner with and invest in digital innovators, translating the accretive value of those partnerships into real-world impact across health care.

Companies We Partner With

We partner with some of the most talented teams in digital health. Our portfolio spans patient engagement, data and analytics, and other critical areas across the health care ecosystem.

Our Investment & Build Model

We invest in and build digital health companies through a disciplined model designed to turn promising ideas into durable, scalable platforms. By combining strategic capital with operator‑led collaboration inside Bon Secours Mercy Health, we ensure innovations are shaped by the realities of care delivery.

We are selective by design, prioritizing opportunities where there is strong alignment, committed leadership, and a clear path from real‑world use to broader market relevance.

Strategic Venture Investments

We make direct equity investments in companies capable of delivering meaningful impact at scale. Each investment is grounded in and supported by clinical and operational leaders, enabling companies to validate their approach, refine their product, and build credibility with the broader market.

Acceleration & Co‑Development

Our acceleration pathway enables operating leaders to pilot and co‑develop emerging solutions aligned to priority needs. This approach helps early‑stage companies gain traction quickly while creating structured opportunities for deeper partnership or investment as solutions mature.

Together, these pathways create a clear, outcome‑driven approach to building companies that are designed to work in practice and scale with confidence.

Scaling with Conviction

While our focus is on investments and partnerships, Accrete has selectively scaled proven platforms when mission‑aligned and market‑ready. Nordic, a nationally recognized health care services and technology company, represents this approach—expanding its capabilities and reach as part of Accrete’s broader digital platform.

Be part of something bigger

Our Accrete team has deep experience as leaders in the digital health, product development, start-up and venture capital realms and we’re always looking for new entrepreneurs and teams to invest in.
