“Today, we can enable delivery of healthcare to anyone, anywhere at the lowest cost and bridge the physical world with a digital platform. We were told many times that it could not be done.”

The hospital will also offer Covid-19 care and resources to the state during the ongoing pandemic and serve as an acute care hospital post-pandemic.

UpHealth plans to open more such hospitals across the country.

Additionally, the company intends to open such hospitals in Africa as well as in the rural and underserved areas of the US.

The clients of UpHealth include healthcare providers, health plans, global governments, and community-based organisations.
