“The Livara care model, technology, and team members start an exciting new chapter in our work to transform specialty care,” said Derek Baird, Co-Founder and CEO at Switchboard Health. “Now a primary care provider, right within her EHR, can refer qualified patients to our Livara MSK providers for convenient, evidence-based care.”.

“Our mission is to transform patients’ and providers’ experiences with MSK care, delivering convenient, effective, virtual support to patients,” said Rob Cohen, CEO at Livara Health. “We’re excited to see Switchboard integrate Livara Health into its referral and care navigation workflows to scale the delivery of high-value MSK care.”.
