To continue to support clients in their strategic shift toward more efficient value-based programs, naviHealth has promoted its long-time Chief Operating Officer, Carter Paine, to President and COO, and added Dr. Jay LaBine as Chief Medical Officer and Denise Ceule as Chief Legal Officer.
“Health care is demanding and rapidly evolving. To meet the needs of our health system and health plan partners, and more importantly, their patients, we recognized the need to expand our leadership team,” said Clay Richards, CEO at naviHealth. “With the promotion of Carter, who has helped naviHealth grow exponentially since its founding in 2011, and the additions of Dr. LaBine, with whom we’ve worked closely for many years, as well as Denise who is recognized as a strong leader and excellent lawyer, we’re strengthening our foundation to drive all sectors of our business and support the needs of clients and patients.”
