Validation Institute Honors Goldfinch Health and Other Healthcare Innovators for 9th Annual Health Value Awards
Validation Institute has announced the winners of its 9th Annual Health Value Awards celebrating organizations and individuals driving measurable improvements in healthcare value. The awards spotlight top-performing services, products, and programs across 10 categories within the healthcare industry, along with top-performing advisors.
Recognized as the leader in Opioid Management, Goldfinch Health claimed its fourth Health Value Award.
“Achieving independent validation from the Validation Institute is not easy,” said Brand Newland, PharmD, MBA, Goldfinch Health CEO. “In fact, by design the process is meant to be a bit uncomfortable on our side of it. That’s because it isn’t for us. It’s for our employer, labor union, and insurer clients. We have been and will continue to be committed to this process as we believe that demonstrating independently-verified results and savings is the right thing for our customers.”
The 2026 Health Value Awards winners represent a growing movement toward vendor integrity and fiduciary advising in healthcare—demonstrating that measurable outcomes, not promises or anecdotes, should be the standard for evaluating healthcare solutions and advisory services.
“These companies with Health Value Award designations can be counted on to perform with the reported savings, outcomes, quality metrics, or contractual integrity we reviewed and backed with our $100,000 credibility guarantee,” said Bernie Weiss of Validation Institute. “As we grow, Validation Institute hopes that employers, brokers, consultants, self-insurance plans, TPAs, captives, and other purchasers will start asking vendors to send them their Validation Reports, as part of an RFP process.”
