Russell Street Ventures has launched its first company, a concierge-style health care platform for Medicare recipients in rural areas, since being formed in March by former Aspire Health CEO and CMS Innovation Center Director Brad Smith.

Based in Nashville, Main Street Health will partner with local physicians and pharmacists to offer a platform that provides seniors living in rural areas health care coordination, priority appointments, round-the-clock digital access to care teams and same-day prescription refills, among other services. Its proprietary software, ExtraAccess, integrates with electronic medical records at primary care and urgent care clinics and will launch in more than 30 locations in West Tennessee covering more than 59,000 Medicare patients.
