Endeavor Health, Henry Ford Health, Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago, Nemours Children's Health, Northwestern Medicine, and Rush Health sign on to build high value companies that benefit both healthcare providers and families.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Six months after launching the Abundant Platform, Abundant Venture Partners has added several leading health systems to its Alliance, bringing the total to 22 healthcare provider organizations. The firm has also introduced a dedicated pediatric cohort, convening leading institutions from across the country to co-develop innovations designed for the specialized needs of pediatric care.

The platform continues to accelerate commercialization of high-potential healthcare ventures through the Abundant Venture Studio, ensure early market adoption across its provider network, and drive scale with strategically aligned, provider-backed seed and Series A funds. In May, virtual cardiology startup Auxira was launched via the platform in partnership with MedStar Health.

"Working alongside our pediatric partners is especially inspiring," explained Katie Edge, Senior Vice President, Abundant Alliance.  "As we've engaged with both standalone pediatric systems and pediatric hospitals inside of larger health systems, we've seen an extraordinary spirit of innovation. They have a deep commitment to providing high quality care for children and families while shaping the future of hospital operations."

Health system members of the Abundant Platform play a pivotal role as co-developers, early adopters, and aligned owners of opportunities uncovered via the Abundant Platform. "At Lurie Children's, we've long focused on innovation within pediatrics," Tom Shanley, MD, President and CEO, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. "We've been particularly impressed by the perspective Abundant brings to our field from serving health systems across the broader ecosystem."

Abundant plans to select up to eight additional healthcare organizations to join the Abundant Alliance, and is actively reviewing early-stage startups and entrepreneurs for innovations that offer high value and sustainable solutions to healthcare institutions.
