Episode notes

I think there's a really interesting combination of especially founders that I meet that have a mix of health here and software experiences. Would you say that, like, that's what created the creativity or the diversity in new thought and also, you know, traditional healthcare? Yeah, I think everything and more just an explosive mandate, a very contrarian attitude. Like, a lot of people were not experienced in healthcare, which has created some tension, but if you can figure out productive ways to kind of work through it.

Today, we’re excited to get to know Vivek Garg, CMO and SVP of Primary Care for Humana. Vivek currently leads national clinical strategy and excellence, care model development and innovation, and the clinical teams for Humana's Primary Care Organization (CenterWell Senior Primary Care and Conviva Care Center) as Chief Medical Officer (CMO), serving over 240,000 seniors across the country.

In this episode, Vivek shares his incredible journey from joining as the first medical director of One Medical and Oscar Health to serving as the CMO and CPO of Caremore to leading Humana’s Primary Care group, technology’s role in combating burnout, and tactical advice on working with larger health plans like Humana and tips on how to sell your first pilot (hint: it is not to sell your product at freemium).
