Dr. Alexander Dobranowski, HEALWELL's CEO, commented, "Our primary focus in Q1 was on securing the financing for and implementing our transformational acquisition of Orion Health, which closed on April 1, 2025. With the addition of Orion Health, we are entering a new phase for HEALWELL. Orion Health is a global leader in healthcare data interoperability and this transformational acquisition brings global scale and robust healthcare software infrastructure to our platform. The combination of world-class artificial intelligence technology, experienced management, and firsthand access to some of the largest health systems globally positions HEALWELL for sustainable growth and long-term leadership in the global health AI ecosystem. Our seamless integration of Orion Health's software offerings with HEALWELL's AI solutions, coupled with our joint go-to-market strategy for public and private sector opportunities, will be key drivers of our future growth. Together, the combined 'WELL' family offers unparalleled depth, capability and value. With WELL Health, WELLSTAR, HEALWELL, and now Orion Health, we are uniquely positioned to provide comprehensive public sector solutions that few other organizations can match." Dr. Dobranowski further adds, "Our Q1 results reflect the strength and diversification of HEALWELL's business, even before the addition of Orion Health, as we continue to scale a category-defining AI- powered healthcare platform. The momentum in our AI and Data Science division is especially exciting- Khure Health has seen rapid adoption from key healthcare stakeholders, while Pentavere is gaining traction with new enterprise relationships. These technologies are fundamentally reshaping how at-risk patients are compliantly identified, understood, and treated across the healthcare ecosystem."
