DocGo hires Jen McLean and Yong Kim as Vice Presidents
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2024--
DocGo Inc. (Nasdaq: DCGO), a leading provider of technology-enabled mobile health services, today announced the addition of two senior leaders bringing significant experience in large-scale public health program management and value-based care partnerships with health plans.
Yong Kim has joined as Vice President of Health Plan Partnerships from his most recent role leading business operations and strategy for CVS Health’s population health and care management programs. Jen McLean has joined as Vice President of Government and Public Health Programs from her most recent role as Chief Operating Officer of City Harvest in New York City.
“We are seeing significant momentum right now from both health plans and governments to realize the potential of virtual and deployable mobile care solutions to deliver positive, measurable results in patient health and overall savings in total costs of care,” said Lee Bienstock, CEO of DocGo. “We believe both Jen and Yong will be crucial and beneficial to expanding our programs with these core customer groups and will greatly support our mission of democratizing access to healthcare through innovative and efficient technology.”
Kim will be responsible for health plan partnerships, business growth strategy for future collaborations and value-based care programs. McLean will work with dedicated city, government and community-based organizations on mobile service solutions to help solve emergent and continuing population health needs. DocGo’s virtual, deployable care delivery model serves governments and health plans by providing healthcare, behavioral health and related support to people wherever they are outside of the walls of traditional health care facilities.
Kim’s experience across the healthcare industry includes a decade in healthcare management consulting and strategic advisory for provider and payer clients, such as HCA Healthcare and Elevance Health. He also has extensive expertise in developing and implementing large-scale programs, products and partnerships with health plans, overseeing government business strategy and overall business growth. Most recently, Kim served as Head of BizOps and Strategy, Population Health and Care Management Solutions at CVS Health, where he led business operations and defined business strategy for CVS Health’s payer-agnostic population health and care management businesses.
“As part of the DocGo team, I can't wait to get to work growing this business, designing operational models that are truly scalable and improving every facet of work for our employees, colleagues, patients and partners,” Kim said. “This company has an incredible opportunity to engage underserved segments of populations, and our team’s skills allow us to bridge the gap and find unique ways to influence and improve health outcomes.”
McLean has more than two decades of experience supporting communities and public health initiatives from her time working at City Harvest, New York City’s largest food rescue organization, where she most recently served as Chief Operating Officer. In this role, McLean led the design and implementation of the organization’s 5-year strategic plan, which led to significant growth in operations.
“DocGo’s impact and the energy they bring were some of the many reasons I was thrilled to join this team,” said McLean. “I’m focused on bringing support to DocGo’s significant public health initiatives in partnership with New York City and communities across the country. I look forward to helping this already incredible and dedicated team to further develop our operational excellence in order to continue supporting underserved populations and communities through our mobile health services.”
