We collaborate closely with various healthcare partners to enhance serious-illness support.
We collaborate closely with various healthcare partners to enhance palliative care delivery. Together, we work towards integrating our services seamlessly into existing care structures to improve outcomes and reduce costs. Our partners include:
Payers
We currently serve commercial and MA lives, using payer data and a set of triggers to identify members in need of serious illness support. Partnering up stream via data will return the greatest total cost of care savings.
ACO
We can support the high-risk and rising-risk population in the community in a way that has unmatched cost-saving outcomes. For those patients in full or partial-risk arrangements, as well as general FFS patients.
Primary Care Providers
Primary Care Doctors are the core of what we do. We partner on Medicare FFS dementia patients as well as supporting various payer initiatives. We become the providers eyes and ears in the home ensures people stay safe in their home as long as possible.
Home Health & Hospice Services
Our team can act as an extension of your palliative care team, we can ensure those living in the community get the appropriate home health care when needed and most of all we help every single family make a plan for disease progression towards the end of their life. We partner with hospice every day to ensure the care team is prepared.
Long-Term Care (LTC) / Assisted Living (AL) Facilities
We can support those with dementia and ensure they have a clear plan in place to save the time/energy of your staff, but more than that we support the families and loved ones to ensure they understand what lies ahead. Our staff will come to your buildings to perform care planning for all those in need.
Health Systems
We make an impact on everything from ensuring people can leave the hospital and stay safe in their home, appropriately utilize serious-illness services, to meeting quality measure and ensuring attribution of your members. We know we can make a difference all along the continuum for your highest risk populations.
Our model is deeply rooted in evidence-based practices, backed by comprehensive research. We have developed a proprietary step-by-step guide for implementing social work interventions in palliative care, adaptable to any setting. The ALIGN intervention has been the focus of extensive clinical research, demonstrating our commitment to rigor in the approach we take with each family.
Our Assessing & Listening to Individual Goals and Needs (ALIGN) Intervention harnesses the specialized skills of Palliative Care Social Workers (PCSWs). Trained in family systems theory, they are adept at bridging gaps between patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems, significantly enhancing the care experience.
Our total cost of care saving consistently outperforms any traditional care model. We continue to see superior cost savings with high-risk populations with all our care partners.

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, care navigators, and an MD Medical Director. We see patients and families in their homes, community, facilities, where ever 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 executed when 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, far greater than traditional palliative care interventions. 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.
