Excited to lead a team accountable for collaborating with internal and external partners to conceive, design, and launch new initiatives (care programs, services and platforms). We will drive improvements in our customer's health and we want to disrupt the current healthcare delivery model to ensure we provide better integrated (patient, provider and health plan) care and wellness, improve time to and access to care and treatment plans and offer our customers (members) access to such services in ways to fit their lifestyle. I am very interested in speaking with organizations that are looking for new ways to improve care and wellness especially for individuals with chronic conditions or our at higher risk to develop them. Let's face it folks, no one writes checks at the grocery store anymore (heck I order my groceries online). Very few people go into the gas station to pay cash for their gas. Very few people sit down and write out and mail checks for their monthly mortgage payments, utility bills and etc. It was initially scary to migrate the management of our money to online sources; but it has made our lives so much easier. Let's improve health care and make it at easy as ordering my groceries, provide tools/education for making decisions on our care as easy as TurboTax and let's provide care services and support as easy as texting a friend or posting on social media.
