Key Terms

primary care, virtual care, population health, private equity, +1 more
5 terms
primary care medical
"A more coordinated, data-driven approach to primary care that improves access"
Primary care is the routine medical care people receive from general doctors, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants who handle everyday health needs, preventive screening, and ongoing management of chronic conditions. Think of it as the front door to the healthcare system—where most patients first go and get referred to specialists—so its capacity and cost drive patient volumes, billing patterns, and long-term healthcare spending that matter to investors in clinics, insurers, and pharmaceutical or device makers.
virtual care medical
"Convenient virtual care options"
Healthcare services delivered remotely using video calls, phone, secure messaging, or connected devices that track symptoms and vital signs — essentially a virtual doctor’s visit or digital check-in instead of an in-person appointment. Investors watch virtual care because it can change how quickly a provider or tech company reaches more customers, cuts or shifts operating costs, and alters reimbursement and competitive dynamics, much like online banking reshaped how people access financial services.
population health medical
"Population health insights that enable employers and providers to identify needs"
Population health is the practice of improving the overall health and well‑being of a group of people — such as residents of a region or users of a health plan — by preventing illness, managing chronic conditions, and coordinating services. Think of it like maintaining a city's infrastructure: healthier populations need fewer emergency repairs and lower long‑term costs. For investors, stronger population health can reduce healthcare spending, stabilize revenue for providers and insurers, and lower financial risk tied to disease outbreaks or rising chronic care needs.
private equity financial
"Independent, physician-led decision-making, free from the influence of private equity"
Private equity involves investing money directly into private companies or buying out public companies to make them private, with the goal of improving their performance and increasing their value over time. For investors, it offers an opportunity to earn returns by helping companies grow or restructure, often requiring a longer-term commitment and a higher level of involvement than typical stock investments.
health equity medical
"improving health equity, and building a healthier, more productive workforce"
Health equity means that everyone has a fair chance to achieve their best possible health, regardless of race, income, neighborhood, or other social factors; it focuses on removing barriers so that health outcomes are not determined by who someone is or where they live. For investors, health equity matters because laws, funding priorities, consumer demand, and care access aimed at reducing disparities can change market size, cost structures, product adoption, and regulatory or reputational risk—like opening a product to previously excluded neighborhoods, which can expand opportunity and alter risk.

New clinical model brings deeper provider relationships, integrated technology, and lower total cost of care to local public employees and their families

SHEBOYGAN, Wis., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A coalition of Sheboygan-area public employers has selected QuadMed as their new clinical partner for the Sheboygan InHealth Center, bringing a Wisconsin-founded, physician-led care model to employees and families across the community.

The partnership unites Sheboygan County, the City of Sheboygan, the Sheboygan Area School District, and the Town of Sheboygan behind a shared goal: a more coordinated, data-driven approach to primary care that improves access, elevates outcomes, and bends the long-term cost curve for the people who serve this community every day.

"This health center represents something fundamentally different in healthcare," said Kathryn Quadracci Flores, MD, CEO of QuadMed. "Our clients are not buying a network or simply renting access to care. They are building a healthcare model around their people, and that distinction matters. When care is designed specifically for a workforce, you see higher engagement, stronger relationships with providers, and measurable improvements in health outcomes. Most importantly, you see total cost come down in a way that is sustainable, not episodic. We believe employers should have greater control over how care is delivered, how quality is measured, and how healthcare dollars are spent. This health center is another step toward that future."

A Wisconsin Story, Continued in Sheboygan

QuadMed was founded in 1991 by Harry V. Quadracci, father of Kathryn Quadracci Flores, when he hired a physician to provide care for his employees onsite at Quad (then known as Quad/Graphics) in Pewaukee, Wisconsin. He believed employers could bring employees better and more affordable healthcare than they were getting in the community. More than three decades later, QuadMed remains family-controlled and physician-led. It is headquartered in Sussex and serves employers across Wisconsin and the country. Its roots, leadership, and values, however, remain deeply connected to Wisconsin.

"The InHealth Center is a collaboration rooted in wellness, stewardship, and innovation. When employees can access care earlier and build trusted relationships with healthcare professionals, they are healthier at work, healthier at home, and better able to care for the people who depend on them," said Dave Loomis, HR Director, Sheboygan County. 

Designed for Access, Built for Better Health

The Sheboygan InHealth Center offers a comprehensive suite of services focused on prevention, early intervention, and coordinated care with the unified goal of providing the highest quality care at the lowest cost, including:

  • Same- or next-day primary care appointments, with extended visit times that build real patient-provider relationships
  • 24/7 access to care guidance
  • Convenient virtual care options
  • Personalized treatment plans supported by integrated clinical data
  • Coordination of referrals, diagnostics, and follow-up care across the broader health system

Care is powered by Epic MyChart, the same technology platform used by leading health systems nationwide, ensuring patient records and clinical decisions are connected, informed, and secure.

A Stronger Model for the Sheboygan Community

With QuadMed as the clinical partner, the InHealth Center now operates on a model that emphasizes:

  • Relationship-based primary care, with longer visits focused on prevention and chronic condition management
  • Independent, physician-led decision-making, free from the influence of private equity or health system ownership
  • A fully coordinated care experience, designed to work alongside employer health plans to reduce fragmentation and total cost
  • Population health insights that enable employers and providers to identify needs and take timely action

This approach has delivered measurable results across QuadMed's client base, improving population health metrics and generating double-digit savings compared to regional benchmarks. The Sheboygan partnership is designed to achieve these outcomes over time.

Investing in Sheboygan's Workforce and Its Future

Beyond care, the health center will support broader community health efforts, including wellness programming, preventive screenings, and seasonal initiatives and vaccines.

By strengthening access to high-quality, coordinated care close to home, Sheboygan's public employers are reducing barriers to care, improving health equity, and building a healthier, more productive workforce. This effort reflects a growing movement among public-sector organizations to take a more active role in how healthcare is delivered, measured, and funded.
