Bamboo Health supports more than 2,500 hospitals, 37 payers, 7,800 post-acute facilities, 25,000 pharmacies, and 45 state governments.

This extensive infrastructure and network support the exchange of applications, information, and actionable insights between these providers, health plans, and state governments in more than one billion patient encounters per year.
“We looked to nature for inspiration as we established our vision for the combined company and bamboo captures the essence of everything we aspire to be,” said Rob Cohen, president and general manager of Bamboo Health. “Bamboo is strong, resilient, nourishing, fast-growing, and aesthetically pleasing. The very same qualities describe our company’s ability to adapt and expand quickly in service to a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

Appriss was founded in 1994 as a data and analytics company. About a decade ago, Appriss Health formed as the company began to build technological solutions to help combat the growing opioid crisis in the United States. Appriss Health became known for its solutions that help to reduce substance use disorder, and further expanded into the behavioral healthcare space with the acquisition of OpenBeds in 2019. With the acquisition of PatientPing, the nation’s leading care collaboration platform, in 2021, the company – now known as Bamboo Health – was able to integrate solutions for both physical and behavioral healthcare, for more personalized, patient-centric care.
