Meliora Health

What Meliora Health does

Meliora Health was a Chicago-based for-profit medical practice that provided mental health and autism services to children and adolescents, operating with an estimated 101–250 staff under the clinical leadership of Dr. Lisa Lewis and a small behavioral health team. The practice delivered direct patient care as its core offering, with patients and their families as its sole customer segment, and operated on a traditional fee-for-service clinical model typical of independent specialty practices. No technology products, software platforms, or proprietary clinical tools are described in the source data; the firm's only material technology artifact was a website that has been repurposed as a medical-records-custodian landing page.

Effective June 30, 2024, Meliora Health permanently closed to patient care. In connection with the closure, the practice designated Morgan Records Management, LLC (headquartered at 8 State Street, Nashua, NH) as the official Records Custodian for all patient health records. Morgan Records Management maintains those records in accordance with HIPAA, applicable confidentiality and security standards, and state and federal record-retention requirements, with records held for no less than seven years after the last date of service and typically at least ten years. No successor clinical entity, acquisition, asset sale, or continuation of operations has been disclosed, and the firm has no reported funding rounds, partnerships beyond the records custodian arrangement, or expansion signals.
