Sharecare, Healthways working on post-acquisition transition

Ever since the acquisition of Healthways, one of Williamson County’s biggest employers, by Sharecare, a leading digital healthcare company, the companies have been figuring out where to go next.

The planning continues this week, with Sharecare executives in town.

When the $30-million deal closed on July 31, Sharecare got Healthways’ brand, its name and its population health programs. What was left of Healthways, whose stock before the announcement had dropped 32 percent in the previous 12 months, is in the process of rebranding, re-consolidating and refocusing.
