Why is Instacart joining a rural health transformation collaborative? Because the hardest part of chronic disease management is often not writing the care plan. It is making the care plan executable. Today, we announced that Instacart has joined the Collaborative for Healthy Rural America, which I am proud to have helped convene last fall to help states move from Rural Health Transformation planning to real implementation. When I first met Sarah Mastrorocco at JPM in early 2026, her and her team's passion for leveraging their powerful platform to bring food for health infrastructure to support real people across the United States stood out to me. The stories and proven examples Sarah and her team at Instacart brought to bear resonated with me, our CHRA partners and the outcomes we hope to help States and rural health providers achieve. That distinction matters. States do not need another collection of point solutions. They need an operating model. One that can connect longitudinal primary care, AI-enabled population management, virtual access, interoperable data, closed-loop referrals, community services, and now more direct access to nutritious food and everyday essentials. Food access is not a side issue in rural health. For many patients managing diabetes, maternal health, heart disease, obesity, COPD, or other chronic conditions, nutrition is part of the intervention. But in rural communities, the gap between a clinical recommendation and a patient’s daily reality can be measured in miles, transportation constraints and local availability of resources. That is why Instacart ’s role is so important. With Deloitte , Lumeris , Teladoc Health , Unite Us , Nuna and now Instacart , CHRA brings scaled, complementary capabilities to states, providers, and communities trying to turn federal investment into measurable outcomes. This is not about building a bigger vendor ecosystem. It is about reducing fragmentation. It is about helping states move faster without forcing every health system, rural provider, or agency to assemble the same capabilities from scratch. The next phase of rural health transformation will be judged by execution. Not intent. Not pilots. Not disconnected innovation. Execution. Proud to welcome Instacart to CHRA as we work to help rural communities build health systems that are more connected, more preventive, and more sustainable.

I have been on the road quite a bit and am late to sharing this, but I would be remiss not to. I am incredibly fortunate to work alongside many talented colleagues in Cambridge and across the U.S. through Lumeris Tomorrow Labs. Tomorrow Labs is focused on making AI in health care transparent and worthy of trust. That means a lot of intentional work, from model design and guardrails to real clinical workflows, to ensure AI supports clinical judgment rather than replaces it. Together we are expanding access to primary care.

I enjoyed sitting down with the Healthcare AI Guy for a deep dive on a topic I'm passionate about and spend most of my time on: solving the primary care crisis in the US. We discussed how we at Lumeris are using our Primary-Care-as-a-Service AI platform, Tom, to move from episodic office visits to continuous, proactive care. The goal is to support our primary care teams and to expand access for the nearly 100 million Americans who currently lack it. Check out the full article to learn more about how we're working to transform healthcare.

Just one week until Dr. Rob Chamberlin and I join Blake Madden to dig deep into AI and Primary Care. No spoilers ... but I can guarantee we are going come ready to talk about the Exciting, Good, and Challenging aspects of embedding AI into the Primary Care and Patient experience. MaineHealth is already a thought leader in Primary care ranging from traditional practices to capitated models as well innovative experients in #DirectPrimaryCare models for Employers. I have learned a tremendous amount from Dr. Chamberlin on how MaineHealth is thinking about the next evolution of Primary Care and excited we are going to share our conversation with this community. Join us next Wednesday. I promise it will not be boring! Hospitalogy Lumeris Robert Ferro Jeff Paschen Braden Boyer, MHA, BRMP

Baltimore-bound for the National Association of ACOs Spring Conference! Accountable care is maturing, and the conversations we’re having are getting much more specific. This year at #NAACOS , the Lumeris team is leaning into two areas that are critical for the next phase of VBC. 🔹 John Fryer | To Buy, Build or Use Embedded Technology Solutions | Pre-Conference Workshop Wednesday, 4/22 🔹 Dr. Erin Hurlburt | Specialist Engagement & the NAACOS Guidebook | Thursday, 4/23 @ 2:00 PM 🔹 Rick Goddard | Rural Health Transformation & State Partnerships | Friday, 4/24 @ 11:30 AM We’re looking forward to diving into the plenary sessions and discussing the future of the industry with the people who are building it day-to-day. #NAACOS2026 #HealthcareLeadership #ACO

A great reminder of why complete and accurate data is an important starting point for effective AI use in health care. It also highlights why we at Lumeris advocate for using AI to augment, not supplant, the role of primary care physicians and APPs. Making accurate medical diagnoses is core to the roles physicians play in health care. While AI can aid in this, the article this week from JAMA Network Open should provide a sober reminder to consumers that technology alone is insufficient to provide optimal health outcomes. #Tom #Lumeris #AIinHealthcare #PrimaryCare #Access

Looking forward to joining the National Association of ACOs annual leadership Conference next week for a session on technology adoption in healthcare: "To Buy, Build or use Embedded Technology Solutions." I’ll be sharing how we at Lumeris think about AI and technology decisions: build the core platform, partner for fast-moving components, and focus on change management and process execution embedded in clinical workflow. In healthcare, the goal is not innovation for its own sake. It’s using technology to reduce operating friction, extend care teams, improve patient engagement, and create solutions organizations can actually scale. Hope to see many of you in Baltimore.
