About Watershed

Built by people who lived the broken handoff.

Watershed was founded by a practicing cardiologist who watched coordination fail his own patients — not for lack of data, but for lack of a way to act on it together. A decade later, the network he started is growing across 14 states. 

Our story

From one community's problem to state wide infrastructure.

Watershed began in 2016 with a simple observation from clinical practice: every system in healthcare documents what happened, and none of them help the people across town act together while it's happening. So we built the connective layer — funded by the organizations accountable for outcomes, controlled by the people doing the work, and open to every provider regardless of technology or margin.

What we believe

The beliefs the architecture is built on.

Everyone matters

The home health aide, the hospice nurse, the community organization — outcomes belong to the whole team, so the whole team belongs on the record. 

Meet people where they are

 Standardization excludes. We adapt to every organization's operational reality — portal, interface, fax, phone — because a network that excludes anyone fails everyone. 

No one loses for someone to win

 Risk-bearers fund it, providers control it, patients benefit from it. Aligned economics aren't a pricing strategy — they're the design.
