About Puzzle

Built in Detroit. Built by operators.

Puzzle Healthcare is a value-based post-acute care company founded in Detroit in January 2022. We work with hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, ACOs, and payors to prevent readmissions and improve the transition from hospital to home.

Our thesis

The transition is the intervention.

The costliest gap in American healthcare isn't inside the hospital — it's the 90 days after discharge. Puzzle exists to close that gap with people, technology, and aligned incentives that let hospitals, SNFs, and payors all win at the same time.
