Before joining Valley Health in 2020, Nantz held executive roles at Bon Secours Mercy Health, including serving as chief administrative officer and president of the Atlantic Group, a role where he was responsible for 14 hospitals and other services in South Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Florida.
Nantz has a degree in accounting from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and a master’s in health administration from Pfeiffer University in North Carolina."
Based solely on our PCP's recommendation, we agreed. We didn't realize at the time that RevUp is a "remote care" service located in Solana Beach CA.
I'll be 79 this year and my wife will be 77. Currently we live independently in our own home. Thanks be to God. We realize that there may come a time when we're unable to live independently in our own home. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Back to RevUp. We didn't know the cost when we got RevUp. We were told that medicare would pay for most of the cost. Then the bills came. For $198 a month we both get a 10 + or - minute phone call from RevUp. That's almost $5,000 a year! Medicare pays 72% and we pay the rest. Needless to say, we decided that RevUp is NOT for us.
Unless you live by yourself, have serious health problems, and you aren't independently wealthy, then, in our opinion, RevUp is NOT for you.
Now to Valley Health.
"As the head of Valley Health, Nantz oversees more than 6,000 employees and six hospitals, including two in West Virginia, as well as more than 70 medical practices and other facilities. The health system serves a population of more than 500,000 in the Shenandoah Valley, West Virginia and Maryland. It reported $77.8 million in revenue for fiscal 2023, after losing $71.8 million in revenue in 2022.

It's a lesson that I learned long ago. It's not like I don't know that large corporations care more about profit than their employees, customers, or quality of the products or services that they provide.
Valley Health would like its customers to believe that it's all about quality of the medical care that they provide to their customers. It's not. Like many other corporations, the qualifications of the person at the top of Valley Health aren't in the services that it provides. Valley Health's president and CEO isn't a doctor. He's a "bean counter".
In the future I will be monitoring our PCP's recommendations MUCH more closely.
