  “Commercial ACOs face three significant challenges: multiple business models, new investments and cross-organizational buy-in. The first issue is trying to operate in
two opposing reimbursement systems...A second issue is investing in the tools and infrastructure required to succeed within an ACO model...A third issue is gaining
buy-in from primary care and specialist physicians within a network.”
- Dave Terry, Cofounder/CEO, Archway Health.
