Celebrated as a Bold Leader, Lytle,
Founder, Chairman and CEO of Equality Health,
Recognized
for Driving Business Growth, Addressing Health Inequities
and
Leading the Change Toward Value-Based Care in the
U.S. Healthcare System
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 20,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY US)
announced that Hugh Lytle, Founder,
Chairman and CEO of Equality Health was named an Entrepreneur Of
The Year® 2024 Pacific Southwest Award winner.
Entrepreneur Of The Year is the preeminent competitive awards
program for entrepreneurs and leaders of high-growth companies.
Lytle was selected by an independent judging panel made up of
previous award winners, leading CEOs and other business leaders.
Candidates were evaluated based on their ability to create
long-term value through entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to their
purpose and the demonstration of growth and substantial impact,
among other key indicators.
Recognized for his "healthcare rebel" entrepreneurial spirit,
Lytle founded Equality Health in 2015
to address health inequities in America, especially in
underserved communities, and to drive the change from fee for
service to value-based care in the U.S. health system. Value-based
care is an enhanced care delivery approach that shifts the focus
from the quantity of services rendered to quality care, resulting
in enhanced patient experiences and improved health outcomes at a
reduced cost. Lytle has created a company with a distinct
Medicaid-first model to enable independent primary care providers –
a crucial resource in the U.S. health system – to be successful in
value-based care.
"I am thrilled to be recognized as an Entrepreneur Of The Year
2024 Pacific Southwest winner. This year's honorees are truly
impressive – many from well-known brands such as Starbucks, FitBit,
Vouri, Chobani and more – and I am proud to be in the company of
these inspirational visionary leaders," said Lytle. "This
award is testament to the passion and commitment of our team and
the importance of our vision at Equality Health to provide access
to high-quality culturally competent care to everyone, regardless
of where they live or how much money they make."
As a Pacific Southwest award winner, Lytle is now eligible for
consideration for the Entrepreneur Of The Year 2024 National
Awards. The National Award winners, including the Entrepreneur Of
The Year National Overall Award winner, will be announced in
November at the Strategic Growth Forum®, one of the
nation's most prestigious gatherings of high-growth, market-leading
companies. The Entrepreneur Of The Year National Overall Award
winner will then move on to compete for the World Entrepreneur Of
The Year® Award in June 2025.
