DENVER, Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Centura Health and DaVita HealthCare Partners (NYSE:DVA) today unveiled FullWell, the brand name of the two partners' recently announced joint venture, a company that aims to bring greater value to health care and lower costs for consumers in Colorado and Kansas.
"We are excited to announce the name of our joint effort and to begin to realize the vision of empowering physicians to succeed in the health care system of the future, where keeping communities well is rewarded," said FullWell's interim CEO, Martha Wofford. "With FullWell, we will provide the full array of tools to help people get and stay well."

"FullWell will be the engine to power our dedicated CHN providers in their never-ending quest to deliver high-value care by providing them with improved consumer and population health data."
FullWell will employ tools to help engage, inform and empower consumers to actively manage and maintain their health through the trusting relationship with their provider. Additionally, FullWell brings access to improved information systems, team-based care coordination and financial incentives for better health outcomes to providers.
"We're excited to put a face on our joint venture and begin transforming health care with a focus on preventive and sustaining care," said Kent Thiry, co-chairman and CEO of DaVita HealthCare Partners.
