Bringing
Healthcare
to Life
We are excited to announce the launch of our new brand name, symbolizing our evolution from a conventional IPA to an innovative, quality-focused, population health-centric, technology-driven suite of programs and services now unified under the name Vivant Health.
Founded in 1992 by Sacramento community physicians, RCMG was established to better serve Medi-Cal patients. Initially a direct primary care case management program, RCMG expanded in the 1990s through partnerships with health plans and community health centers. Over time, the organization broadened its network to include seniors and individuals with chronic health needs.
By 2012, RCMG progressed toward community health and coordinated care, eventually leading to expansion into Medicare programs, partnerships with eight premier health plans and with all community health centers, and an integrated suite of additional coordinated programs and services, all cared for by our network of over 3,480 physicians.
Today, Vivant Health serves over 270,000 patients, emphasizing quality care, data-driven metrics, and technology-based innovation, with local community doctors and health centers still at its core.
We are committed to “Bringing Healthcare to Life” through equitable access and improved health outcomes for all our members through our Independent Physician Association (IPA), Medicare Shared Savings Program (ACO), Women’s Health Services, Healthcare Technology, Ambulatory Surgery Center, University Faculty Practice Plan, University Chest and Sleep Medicine Clinic, and University Physical Therapy Clinic.
