Our Story
CareAtlas was founded on a simple truth: rural and remote communities deserve the same quality of care as major metropolitan areas—but their challenges are fundamentally different. When your nearest hospital is 50 miles away, when recruiting specialists is nearly impossible, when patients choose between gas money and prescription refills, standard care models break down.
We built CareAtlas specifically for rural hospitals, critical access facilities, and under-resourced clinics. Our AI-powered care coordination platform and anavigation services address the unique barriers rural patients face: geographic isolation, transportation challenges, limited broadband access, and constrained provider capacity.
With a zero-cost partnership model and turnkey Medicare billing programs, we make enterprise-grade care management accessible to facilities that could never afford to build it themselves.Our leadership team previously scaled a healthcare company to $750M in revenue serving 4 million patients— but we learned that technology alone isn't enough. Rural healthcare requires human connection combined with intelligent automation. CareAtlas delivers both: compassionate care navigators who understand rural life, supported by AI that predicts complications and coordinates care across vast distances.
Proven outcomes: 20% reduction in hospital readmissions, 90% Medicare billing code capture, around the clock patient access. Zero upfront cost. This is care coordination built for communities where healthcare access isn't a convenience—it's a lifeline.

Leadership
With deep expertise serving rural and underserved populations, our clinical leadership understands the realities of critical access hospitals, frontier communities, and resource-constrained clinics. Dr. Buddy Owen's 35+ years of emergency medicine experience includes extensive work in rural hospital settings where every admission decision carries financial implications, and every patient transfer represents a failure of local care capacity. This perspective shapes everything we build.

Core Values
We pride ourselves on a set of core values that drive everything we do:
Clinically Led Care
We are a physician-led clinical group, not an outsourced call center. Our team of care navigators and medical professionals delivers services directly, ensuring quality and compassion in every interaction.
Home-Centered Outcomes
We focus on keeping patients safe and well at home. Success for us means fewer hospital visits, better disease management, and more independent, healthier days for seniors.
Partner Collaboration
We believe in win-win partnerships. We compensate our partner providers for their clinical staff’s time spent on care management. When we work with a physician practice or health system, we function as an extension of their team – and we make sure their effort is rewarded.
Data-Driven Insights
Healthcare is personal, but it should also be smart. We offer custom reporting and analytics to our partners, turning day-to-day monitoring data into actionable insights. Providers get a clear view of progress, outcomes, and opportunities to improve care.
Seamless Integration
No extra headaches for your IT team – we integrate all relevant data back into existing Electronic Medical Records (EMRs). Our platform is built to plug into your workflows securely (HIPAA-compliantly), so information flows where it’s needed without disruption.
