“We view the services Archway provides as critical to the success of providers in the era of healthcare reform and value-based medicine,” said Gregg L. Hanson, CEO and president of Coverys. “We believe the investment Coverys has made in Archway supports our goal to influence better outcomes for patients in terms of quality, and for healthcare providers, so they remain profitable and can continue to serve their communities.”

“With their strong financial backing and top-tier position in the medical professional liability insurance marketplace, as well as sharing a similar objective to improve the healthcare industry through patient safety, improved care initiatives, and new payment models, Coverys proved to be a great organization to partner with to expand our company,” said David Terry, CEO of Archway Health Advisors. “We are excited to move forward to accomplish our shared objectives through the development of a broader service platform.”
