Circadian Health has appointed Gregg Kimmer as its new chief executive officer (CEO) to enhance virtual-first speciality care, effective as of 1 January 2025.

With more than two decades of experience in healthcare systems, Kimmer is set to lead the company's mission to standardise quality, accessible care for patients with chronic conditions.

As a former Fortune 5 healthcare executive, he previously served as one of only five divisional chief financial officers for Humana in the US. His responsibilities included driving performance and developing strategy across four regions.

At CVS Health company Aetna, Kimmer held the position of chief medicare officer for the Midwest. His oversight extended across operations in four states.

He also led the nation's largest block of Group Retiree Medicare Advantage programmes, working with the Employer Group Waiver Plan segment serving United Autoworkers retirees.

His most recent role as CEO of ATRIO Health Plans saw him increase membership growth year-over-year.

Kimmer said: “Circadian’s model of compassionate, tech-enabled, patient-first care aligns perfectly with my vision for what healthcare can and should be.” 

Circadian's integrated virtual care model, which covers cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology, and sleep care, is set to benefit from his leadership.

Circadian Health president and co-founder Chuck Hector said: “We are thrilled to welcome Gregg to Circadian Health. His passion for building people-first organisations and leveraging data-driven strategies perfectly aligns with our mission to redefine healthcare for chronic conditions.”

The company's model, which includes remote monitoring, at-home diagnostics and proactive care coordination, is designed to transform chronic disease management and enhance patient access to quality care from home.
