2013-2014
With 40 years of combined experience in bedside and healthcare management, emergency room physician Dr. Mark Prather and physician assistant Kevin Riddleberger join forces to create the first iteration of a game-changing healthcare delivery company: True North Health Navigation.
These entrepreneurs set out with the goal of creating a new kind of healthcare, one that improved patient outcomes, provided better patient and provider experiences, and lowered medical costs.
