"Mark spent his career growing and maximizing performance of
businesses. He knows healthcare and the challenges facing both
patients and their care delivery channels including health plans,
employers, providers, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device
manufacturers," said Weingard. "Cecelia Health has been growing
rapidly and is poised to leverage many new and significant
opportunities. I believe Mark is the perfect person to take the
Company to the next level and to lead Cecelia Health through this
period of rapid expansion."
"I'm honored to join Cecelia Health," said Clermont. "With six
in ten people living with a chronic condition driving the need, and
the accelerated adoption of telemedicine driving the market
opportunity, the time is right for Cecelia's innovative and
effective approach to improving the quality of life and the health
of people who live with these conditions. As CEO, my focus will be
working with this incredible team to grow the company so that we
can scale the positive impact that Cecelia Health is having with
patients across cultures, socio-economic classes, and geographies.
In partnership with health plans, pharmaceutical companies, device
manufacturers, employers, and providers, we will continue to
deliver effective care to improve health outcomes with measurable
return on investment, while delivering a personalized and
exceptional experience for patients."
