Employees will have access to appointments with a top-tier medical team with no out-of-pocket cost. By focusing on keeping people healthier, the model is also expected to generate significant savings for the school district.

“We are excited to partner with PeopleOne Health and RosenCare. It allows the district to provide a no-cost option of medical benefits for our employees,” said Dr. Maria Vazquez, Superintendent of Orange County Public Schools. “It also represents a major step towards setting a new standard in employee healthcare.”

“We are honored to partner with OCPS on this transformative opportunity to bring best-in-class healthcare to employees and family members of the school district,” said Jordan Taradash, CEO of PeopleOne Health. “Our model of preventive, personalized care has consistently delivered healthier outcomes, and we are excited to deliver these benefits to the dedicated staff and families of OCPS. Together, we are creating a more sustainable future for the entire community.”

“This is a game-changer on so many levels because we are all about improving lives, changing lives and saving lives,” said Kenneth Aldridge, RN, BSN, MS-HSA, Director of Health Services for RosenCare. “We are proud that OCPS is now aligned with our vision of advanced primary care by increasing access and quality care, while in turn ultimately reducing costs for OCPS members, the district and the state.”

RosenCare and PeopleOne Health Join Forces to Transform Healthcare Market in Florida

New partnership aims to deliver exceptional primary care to millions of people in the region

PITTSBURGH, PA, AND ORLANDO, FL, July 16, 2024 – RosenCare, a premier healthcare provider known for its cutting-edge healthcare solutions, ease of access and its quality, today announced a new partnership with PeopleOne Health, a pioneer in value-based primary care. The partnership combines RosenCare’s award-winning healthcare model with PeopleOne Health’s innovative patient-centric approach. Together, they plan to establish primary care health centers across the region, making personalized healthcare more accessible and at a fraction of the traditional costs. It also establishes PeopleOne Health operations in the Florida market.

Addressing a Healthcare Crisis

One-fifth (21%) of Florida residents lack access to a dedicated care provider, a situation exacerbated by staggering annual healthcare costs in the state, which now exceed $214 billion. Coupled with a decline in care quality attributed to overburdened physicians and a broken system, the healthcare market in the region and across the country is primed for transformation.

Bringing Affordable, High-Quality Care to Employers

This partnership enhances access to high-quality patient care, prioritizing convenience, affordability and preventive health. Forward-thinking companies are turning to RosenCare and PeopleOne Health to provide value-based primary care as an additional employee benefit. In turn, employees gain same-day or next-day access to convenient, top-tier healthcare centers, all at little to no cost.

Establishing a Partnership, Expanding their Presence

Later this month, RosenCare and PeopleOne Health will open its first health center in Palatka, which is southwest of St. Augustine, FL, and other new centers are slated to break ground throughout Florida later this year. RosenCare initially contracted with PeopleOne Health to support its healthcare objectives with the School District of Osceola County, established in 2019. The Palatka health center will be the first joint project from inception.

When Harris Rosen, founder and president of Rosen Hotels and Resorts, created RosenCare many years ago, his vision was to bring a quality, affordable healthcare program to his associates and their dependents. He began by constructing his own medical center just for them. “I believe that the national healthcare system today is broken because it is much better to emphasize prevention than it is to rely upon treatment later on. Healthier associates are happier associates, and simply speaking, it is just the right thing to do,” said Rosen.

“We’ve long been inspired by RosenCare’s decades-long commitment to enhancing healthcare quality and access across local communities in Central Florida,” said Jordan Taradash, founder and CEO, PeopleOne Health. “RosenCare and PeopleOne Health bring together the reach, proven model, and focus on improved health outcomes to positively influence millions of lives across the state. We look forward to delivering the type of world-class, personalized care that people in Florida have long desired and deserve.”

“With PeopleOne Health, we have found a partner that shares our values and goals of delivering better quality healthcare. The market desperately needs a scalable solution to counter spiraling healthcare costs, and PeopleOne Health’s world-class solution is the best model we’ve seen,” said Kenneth Aldridge, director of Health Services at the Rosen Medical Center. “We’re ready to bring more affordable medical care across Florida and unlock savings that can be invested back into communities.”

Join the Movement

RosenCare and PeopleOne Health feature an end-to-end personalized and specialized healthcare experience for both employers and members. Services include primary care as well as chronic condition care, diagnostics, pharmacy, pediatrics and more.

The partnership is now available to all self-funded employers in Florida. To inquire if RosenCare and PeopleOne Health might be right for you, please visit rosencare.com or peopleonehealth.com.

ORLANDO, FL (July 12, 2024) – Top-tier healthcare publication Becker’s Hospital Review has recognized Dr. Ronald Ryan, MD CPE, Medical Director of the Rosen Medical Center as a 2024 Black Healthcare Leader to Know. The list honors leaders for their commitment to the healthcare field – shaping the patient experience, educating and training the next generation of healthcare providers, and furthering equity and inclusion.

Doctor Ronald Ryan Rosen Medical CenterGrowing up in New York City as the son of immigrants from Trinidad & Tobago, it was his father’s aspiration for Dr. Ryan to become a doctor that initially sparked his interest in the field. However, he soon realized it was his calling to serve his community as a doctor, which lacked healthcare professionals who looked like him.

It’s Dr. Ryan’s values of service and helping others that has translated into his leadership style. In his time at the Rosen Medical Center, he has established the center’s values of integrity, compassion, excellence, respect, teamwork, innovation and stewardship. In his role, Dr. Ryan works closely with the Director of Health Services to explore the latest innovations in healthcare and to implement projects that are deemed suitable for the center’s diverse patient population. Dr. Ryan is also actively involved in providing direct patient care on a day-to-day basis.
“Working alongside Dr. Ryan has been an absolute privilege. He’s not just a skilled doctor, but a true leader who inspires everyone around him,” said Kenneth Aldridge, Director of Health Services at Rosen Medical Center. “His patients and our team are incredibly lucky to have him. Congratulations, Dr. Ryan!”

“I am deeply honored to receive this recognition. This recognition underscores the importance of diversity and inclusivity in the healthcare field,” said Dr. Ryan. “It is my privilege to serve my community and to work towards ensuring equitable healthcare for all. In my role as the Medical Director of the Rosen Medical Center, I will continue to strive for excellence and advocate for the well-being of our diverse patient population.”

Before joining Rosen Hotels & Resorts in 2012, Dr. Ryan was the Associate Medical Director at Hospice of the Comforter, specializing in hospice and palliative care medicine. After completing his residency with the Florida Hospital Family Practice Residency program, Dr. Ryan started his own practice and at times, practiced medicine in a variety of urgent care and family practice settings. Dr. Ryan graduated from Oakwood College with a Bachelor of Science in biology; he also attended Jefferson Medical College, now Sidney Kimmel Medical College, from which he graduated in 1995.
