Provides a social work driven intervention by supporting those with serious illness and their caregivers across care settings
About Us
Founded in 2012 by a team of innovative Licensed Clinical Social Work. We at The Holding Group are committed to assisting patients grappling with serious illnesses and their families across various care environments. Our Evidence-based model leverages an interdisciplinary team, led by Licensed Clinical Social Workers who advocate for both patients and their families, moving beyond traditional care boundaries.
Our Mission
We believe that individuals best understand their own needs. Our commitment is to ensure that our patients and their families are informed, empowered and supported throughout their healthcare journey.
Our Approach
We focus on supporting the highest-risk individuals in ways that we would want our own families to be helped. We recognize that understanding the disease progression and planning for the future extend far beyond the scope of conventional healthcare delivery.
Operating outside hospital settings, our dedicated clinical team provides comprehensive social and medical support.
We delve deeper than standard advance care planning and symptom management. Not only do we ensure that these critical components are in place, but we also foster a collaborative care plan that is clearly understood and agreed upon by all involved, including the existing medical support teams.
We dedicate significantly more time to each patient compared to traditional palliative care or home care services, tailoring plans to fit the unique needs of each individual and their family.
What does THG do?
THG is innovating in the serious-illness space. We consider ourselves a non-traditional independent palliative care company, one of the few independent palliative care providers in the country! We started this work in 2012, working directly with insurance companies and partners to care for the highest-risk. We are backed by science, having conducted multiple studies on the ALIGN model to ensure better quality and outcomes for those we serve. The Holding group believes that people know what is best for them and they deserve to be informed, empowered and supported.
How do we do it?
THG leverages a team of predominately LCSWs, as well as NPs, patient navigators, and an MD Medical Director. We see patients and families in their homes, community, facilities; wherever their healthcare journey takes them. We go beyond symptom management. We help people make a plan for the rest of their lives, each plan and person unique. We then share that plan and partner with the existing medical team to ensure that plan is understood and followed as needed.
Partnership solutions?
We partner with those supporting seriously ill people. Medicare Advantage plans will see the greatest and most direct benefit from our solution. We also partner with commercial insurance partners, Accountable Care Organizations, Home Health and Hospice partners, primary care practices, and health systems.
Why partner?
Our outcomes speak for themselves, when our team is supporting your population, good things happen. We see a dramatic reduction in total cost of care. People are happier and their families know what to expect. When people understand their illness and have a plan in place, the reactive chaos of unnecessary spending is greatly reduced and quality of life for people and those they love is improved.
