The Company:

Ilant Health is a value-based healthcare provider focused on cardiometabolic obesity, a group of interconnected conditions that drive over $700 billion in annual U.S. healthcare expenses. We are dedicated to increasing access to treatment while reducing the total cost of care for employers and payers. We are not just a provider, we are a technology-enabled practice driven by analytics.

By combining clinical rigor with a consumer-grade digital experience, we drive life-changing outcomes and measurable ROI.

We serve as the single, integrated front door for comprehensive care, delivering a full continuum of evidence-based solutions, spanning bariatric surgery, pharmacotherapy, and intensive behavioral therapy. Crucially, we personalize care for every Member through a dedicated multidisciplinary care team, empowered by our advanced digital platform. This ecosystem includes specialized tools for our providers and a fully accessible Member Portal (web and mobile) for our Members.
