Hawaii is famous for its unique culture and history, paradisiacal natural beauty — and complex healthcare challenges.

Spread out over numerous islands with remote populations and a large independent physician population, the state has been challenged by fragmented medical networks and ongoing physician shortages.

So we created Ho'ōla — a connected, integrated, and unfragmented healthcare ecosystem that never stops caring for the people of Hawaii.

Ho'ola is a physician enterprise strategy that provides Hawaii’s physicians with the ability to maintain a level of independence while receiving full-spectrum business support and new opportunities for growth.

This national strategic merger model for physicians is spearheaded by Surround Care, a healthcare transformation company dedicated to fixing affordability, quality, access, and experience for individuals, communities, and populations across the U.S.

Foundational to this model is the belief that the collective clinical excellence and strength of an aggregation of independent physicians will enable health systems and health plans to engage in new forms of partnership bringing value to all healthcare stakeholders; those who need care, those who provide care, and those who pay for care.

Essentially, Ho'ola combines Surround Care’s expertise in optimizing performance in value-based contracts and population health with the clinical expertise of Hawaii’s leading independent physicians and physician groups.
