Springstone

What Springstone does

Springstone (operating as Lifepoint Health, Inc.) is a Tennessee-incorporated holding company that owns and operates a diversified, coast-to-coast healthcare delivery network in the United States. The network comprises community hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, behavioral health hospitals, and additional sites of care, serving patients, clinicians, and communities across acute care, post-acute rehabilitation, and behavioral health needs. Revenue is generated through direct delivery of healthcare services under fee-for-service, value-based care, and partnership arrangements, augmented by a formalized Partner With Us program that supports hospital affiliations, joint ventures, and service-line collaborations.

Underlying technology is centered on a healthcare delivery infrastructure that combines acute care, rehabilitation, and behavioral health operations with technology-enabled patient identification and follow-up systems, notably through a partnership with Eon that produced data showing incidental-findings patients are 6.2x more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. The Lifepoint Forward program is the stated vehicle for evaluating and deploying cutting-edge partnerships and technologies, and the National Quality Program provides the operating standard for clinical excellence and patient safety across facilities.

The go-to-motion is primarily direct hospital operations — owned and operated facilities providing patient care — layered with a partnership development channel supported by PR, content marketing, video storytelling, and case studies. The customer base spans three primary segments: patients and communities (use case), clinicians and healthcare providers (persona), and hospital partners (business unit). The company is privately held, headquartered in Brentwood, TN, and employs 1,001–5,000 people.
