PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 19, 2025--

Today, digital health startup Drive Health announces that it has been named a Preferred Vendor by the Association for Community Affiliated Plans (ACAP). ACAP is the national trade association representing not-for-profit Safety Net Health Plans who serve their members through Medicare, Medicaid, and more.

With its new designation as a Preferred Vendor, Drive Health solidifies its unwavering dedication to member welfare and the optimization of the healthcare industry. Drive will use its resources and its team’s extensive knowledge of the public sector to support ACAP’s mission: to equitably improve the health and well-being of people with limited resources or significant health needs. This partnership comes at a particularly crucial time, as challenges like regulatory headwinds, industry-wide labor shortages, and rising acuity of member populations require increased attention and resources.

Drive Health’s mission is to create healthier communities through revolutionary technology and approachable artificial intelligence. Founded in 2022, Drive Health’s flagship product, Avery, a Personalized Agentic Caregiver, empowers clinicians to focus on direct members with the highest needs by automating routine tasks – helping plans deliver more personalized care, ultimately delivering higher patient satisfaction and improved outcomes.

Under the partnership, Drive Health will share its mission with ACAP’s network of health plans through numerous platforms, including ACAP’s newsletter, its CEO Summit, and its educational webinar series. These mediums will give Drive Health’s team the chance to speak in further detail about the impact artificial intelligence has on the healthcare industry, and how ACAP members can leverage emerging technology to address workforce challenges and optimize member outcomes.

James Stringham, CSO at Drive Health and former ACAP Board Member and Plan CEO, will host a webinar alongside Chief Nursing Officer Dr. Leeza Constantoulakis and Co-Founder Kevin Longoria in September.

“Partnering with ACAP was an absolute no-brainer for us. Drive Health is well equipped to deliver nonprofit organizations and members alike the tools to harness emerging technology. We’re dedicated to ensuring equitable healthcare outcomes for all, and we will utilize our expertise to help position and differentiate member health plans," said James Stringham, CSO at Drive Health and former ACAP Board Member and Plan CEO.

“ACAP is delighted to welcome Drive Health as a Preferred Vendor,” said ACAP CEO Margaret A. Murray. “Our member plans look forward to learning more about the ways Drive combines hands-on health care experience with innovative technology to offset potential financial and clinical challenges.”

ACAP’s 85 member Safety Net Health Plans provide coverage for more than 30 million people through Medicare, CHIP, Medicaid, and other public healthcare programs across the United States. Drive Health’s team of seasoned industry experts looks forward to helping ensure equitable, high-quality care for all.
