About Spark Health Group

 Founded in 2022 as RISE Health Group, we set out to create a space where Health IT leaders could connect, collaborate, and drive meaningful change. As our mission grew, so did our vision. We evolved into Spark Health Group to better reflect the energy, innovation, and rapid transformation we aim to ignite within the industry. In a world where healthcare technology is constantly evolving, we believe in sparking ideas, sparking action, and sparking the future of Health IT—together. 

Our Mission

We believe that better healthcare depends on better relationships and every transformation begins with a spark. Our mission is to connect forward-thinking Health IT professionals, fostering an environment where ideas flourish, partnerships form, and the future of healthcare takes shape.

Our Evolution & Commitment

Recognizing the rapid advancements and challenges in healthcare technology, we transformed into Spark Health Group to provide more targeted and impactful services. This evolution allows us to offer specialized programs that address the specific needs of Health IT leaders today.

  

We are dedicated to creating environments where Health IT professionals can collaborate, innovate, and lead the charge toward a brighter healthcare future.

Our Vision - A Better Way to Connect

  We believe that better healthcare depends on better relationships and better relationships depend on better connections. These connections create collaboration and collaboration often breeds innovation.

Our How - Innovate Human Connection in Health IT

  We aim to accomplish our vision and mission by bringing hospital executives together with a specific focus on topics and solutions guided by their input and needs. While the focus is on innovation in healthcare, we focus on innovations in human connection.

Spark Health Group and VENSEARCH

The Spark and VENSEARCH partnership formally started in 2022, but it has roots well beyond that. When Andy Baker, CEO and Founder of Spark Health Group met Wade Brewer, CEO and Co-Founder of VENSEARCH, Wade was a client of Andy’s. In fact, Wade sat in the hospital leadership seat at a hospital in Georgia. Just like the idea for Spark started by addressing a need for better connections among hospital IT leaders, the idea for VENSEARCH came from the need for better knowledge sharing between vendors and hospital IT leaders. The team at VENSEARCH comes with a deep knowledge and understanding of hospitals, technology and how to bridge that ever-widening gap. VENSEARCH is a technology advocate, working at no cost to the hospital to further empower HIT Leaders so they can focus on what matters – the people. Simply put, Spark connects hospital IT leaders with each other and VENSEARCH connects hospital IT leaders to solutions.
