The home healthcare provider has been approved to serve Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties to support some of the region’s most vulnerable patient populations

Innovive Health, a leading home healthcare agency specializing in the treatment of patients with complex behavioral health and comorbid medical conditions, today announced that the company has received approval from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to expand its skilled home health services into Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties. Innovive Health successfully established operations in Colorado Springs three years ago to serve El Paso County and Pueblo County. The additional growth will support the agency’s mission to improve continuity of care for patients who have multiple medical comorbidities with complicating behavioral illness such as severe and persistent mental illnesses and substance misuse disorders by providing ongoing clinical care and educating them to enhance their well-being in the comfort of their homes, wherever their living environment may be.

“We are excited to continue to expand our presence in Colorado, and we are ready to serve complex patients across Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas, and Jefferson Counties,” said Joseph McDonough, CEO of Innovive Health. “In collaboration with our provider and health system partners, we are focused on ED avoidance and reduction in subsequent inpatient admissions and readmissions by addressing both the clinical and social factors that impact outcomes for our patients. Based on our success in Colorado Springs and other markets that we serve across the country, it is clear the investments made in home healthcare afford patients a better quality of life. Our services also allow hospitals to discharge stabilized behavioral health patients back into their communities into a high-touch care environment, helping to reduce the total cost of care for what is a traditionally high-utilizing population.”

With operations in Colorado, Massachusetts, and Iowa, Innovive Health currently serves thousands of the nation's most vulnerable patients. Over 300,000 Coloradans are living with a serious mental illness, and almost 3 million live in a community without enough mental health professionals. According to the 2025 State of Mental Health in America report, Colorado’s adult mental health ranking dropped to 48th of 51 when comparing all states and the District of Columbia, and 50th for adults with a substance abuse disorder. Innovive Health’s nationally recognized care model effectively manages and creates a continuum of care for behavioral health patients, which in turn reduces costly emergency room visits and in-patient stays, and helps to focus clinical and law enforcement resources where they are needed most.

“Innovive has been an invaluable partner for Beacon Primary Care. Our team of providers love the ease of communication, passion, empathy, and dedication of the nursing team and are utterly excited to be able to work with them in other Colorado communities,” said Jennifer Graff, CEO, RN, MSN, AGPCNP-BC of Beacon Primary Care, who has referred numerous patients to Innovive Health.

Over the last 25 years, Innovive Health has built a strong clinical and operations team while establishing and expanding the company’s partnerships with other healthcare organizations, payers, and world-class technology companies to fundamentally change the way home care is delivered to complex mental health patients. On average, Innovive Health serves patients that have at least one severe mental health diagnosis with an average of 10-12 medical comorbidities, and they also take up to 10-15 medications. As part of the treatment of these patients, Innovive Health serves as the hub for a complex care team – coordinating with a multitude of specialists and providers across the continuum of care.
