BLUE BELL, PA — The Columbus Organization has announced its acquisition of Diversified Resources, Inc. (DRI), a significant move aimed at enhancing care coordination for aging and disabled populations in Georgia.
Founded in 1999, DRI serves over 5,000 members under the Elderly and Disabled Waiver Program (EDWP) and through regional Area Agencies on Aging across southern Georgia. Known for its strong local presence and trusted care delivery, DRI has become an essential provider for individuals with complex needs in the region.
This acquisition aligns with Columbus’ strategic growth in complex health care management and integrates DRI’s expertise into its expanding portfolio. The move builds on Columbus’ introduction of C-Change™, a comprehensive health coordination model that combines face-to-face, person-centered support with advanced data analytics to improve patient outcomes and reduce system-wide costs.
“With DRI, we now have the opportunity to serve individuals in Georgia with complex needs like no other,” said Dr. Elaine Aguirre, Senior Vice President of Care Management and Population Health at The Columbus Organization. “Together, we can reshape how care is delivered, building on data-driven strategies and a shared commitment to supporting some of the most vulnerable communities.”
Speaking on behalf of DRI’s leadership, Caroline McGovern, SOURCE Program Director, highlighted the partnership’s potential as Georgia moves toward a managed care system. “We believe, together, we will be well prepared to be a trusted partner with members, providers, Area Agencies on Aging, the state, and managed care companies,” McGovern said.
The acquisition will bring approximately 100 new staff members to The Columbus Organization and extend services to a broader segment of Georgia’s aging and medically complex population.
This latest move underscores Columbus’ mission to deliver accountable, high-quality service coordination and further solidifies its role as a leader in the evolving landscape of integrated health and social care.
