Today, we're excited to get to know Dr. Marketa Wills, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) of Johns Hopkins Health Plans, who focuses on optimizing clinical and quality outcomes for approximately 700,000 Johns Hopkins health plan members while efficiently managing costs of care.
Marketa previously worked at several national health plans, including United Healthcare, WellCare Health Plans and Centene Corporation. She's also a McKinsey & Company alum (Cleveland Office) where she served a broad range of payer and provider clients on a variety of strategic and operational engagements. She holds an MD from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and an MBA in Finance and Healthcare Management from the Wharton School of Business. She also trained in adult psychiatry at Harvard's MGH/McLean Adult Psychiatry Residency Program.
In this episode we talk about Marketa’s path in medicine, what her role as Chief Medical Officer entails, how she thinks about partnerships with payors, advice she has for founders, and what she is excited about for the future of medicine.
Note: since the recording of the podcast, Johns Hopkins HealthCare has changed its name to Johns Hopkins Health Plans.
