Emory Healthcare

What Emory Healthcare does

Emory Healthcare is the largest and most comprehensive academic health system in Georgia, operating as a nonprofit subsidiary of Emory University across 11 hospitals and more than 580 provider locations throughout the state. The system employs 10,000+ staff and is anchored by the Emory Healthcare Network, a clinically integrated network of more than 3,800 physicians practicing in 70 subspecialties. Its clinical portfolio centers on complex care: Georgia's only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center (Winship Cancer Institute), the state's sole lung transplant program since 1993 (600+ procedures), more than 1,200 cumulative heart transplants, plus specialty centers in brain health, heart and vascular, orthopaedics and spine, transplant, voice, reproductive medicine, and a dedicated veterans program for post-9/11 service members. The system extended its geographic footprint with the August 2024 acquisition of Houston Healthcare.

The underlying technology stack now combines enterprise IT, digital patient engagement, and AI-driven clinical tooling. Enterprise imaging runs on Sectra One Cloud under a five-year managed-service contract covering 1.3 million imaging examinations annually. Patient-facing channels include the MyChart patient portal and myEmoryHealth mobile application. AI capabilities are integrated via partnerships rather than built in-house: Abridge provides ambient clinical documentation (powered by NVIDIA Nemotron models), Guidehealth delivers AI-powered care navigation and risk adjustment (Emory invested $10M in June 2025 and improved Medicare Star measures from one to six), and Qualified Health is being deployed for clinical workflow and operational efficiency following its March 2026 $125M Series B. Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) are deployed systemwide with DICOM-enabled imaging presets showcased at HIMSS 2026. Emory also participates as a clinical-trial site for advanced devices including Microbot Medical's LIBERTY robotic system and Motif Neurotech's DOT XCS brain-stimulation implant.

The business model is direct healthcare delivery financed through fee-for-service billing across commercial insurance, Medicare (including Medicare Advantage), and self-pay, supplemented by a partnership with MedicareCompareUSA for enrollment support and payer contracts with Aetna and Cigna via Abridge's real-time claims adjudication integration. Go-to-market combines direct patient acquisition through the MyChart portal and physician referrals with enterprise/B2B arrangements through Emory Employer Health Solutions, sports-medicine partnerships with the Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta United, Georgia Tech Athletics, and the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center, plus community outreach programs such as Talk With Me Baby. Distribution is wholly regional (Georgia and the broader Southeastern United States), with no disclosed international footprint.
