Why I’m Joining Tia: Building a Primary Care Model That Actually Works for Women

I’ve spent my career building care delivery models designed to reach more people and deliver better care. At Oscar Health, I helped scale a national virtual care model. Before that, at Concentra, I led clinical operations across multiple states. Across both roles, the focus was consistent: improve quality, expand access, and build systems that hold up in the real world.

Yet, over time, I kept coming back to something that felt unresolved.

Even as we’ve made progress in access and convenience, we haven’t fundamentally redesigned care around the people who use it most. Women are still navigating a system that wasn’t built with them in mind. Care is fragmented across providers. Preventive care is inconsistent. Important symptoms are too often delayed or dismissed. And clinicians are working in systems that make it difficult to see the full picture.

That gap is what drew me to Tia.

Why Tia

Tia is building a different model. One that starts with women and is designed around their needs from the ground up. This isn’t about layering women’s health into a legacy system. It is about rethinking primary care entirely and designing it to work.

That shift has real implications for how care is designed and delivered:

• Care is continuous, not episodic and supported by systems that enable follow through
• Mental and physical health are integrated
• Prevention is built into the model, not treated as an add-on, and Tia is redefining what comprehensive preventive care for women should include
• Outcomes are measured across the full population, including changes in quality of life, not just clinical markers

Tia is not just articulating this vision. It is building the operational and clinical systems required to deliver on it, with a clear commitment to raising the bar for outcomes.

I am passionate about elevating the standards of care for women.

Just as importantly, Tia is building a model that works for clinicians.

Building a Better Model of Care

In many care models today, clinicians are asked to move faster, see more patients, and manage increasing complexity with limited support. Over time, that erodes the quality of care and the experience of practicing medicine.

What I see at Tia is a different approach. There is a recognition that if you want to build a better model of care, you have to build better systems for clinicians.

That shows up in several ways:

• Team-based care that supports clinicians in managing complexity
• Workflows designed to reduce friction, not add to it
• Technology that supports clinical judgment rather than replacing it
• An emphasis on continuity and relationships between clinicians and patients

This is ultimately about bringing the human side of care back into primary care, while still building a model that can scale.

That balance requires holding two things at once: a high bar for clinical quality and outcomes, and a commitment to a clinician experience that makes that quality possible.

This is the work ahead at Tia.

We have the opportunity to build a primary care model designed for women, grounded in relationships, and accountable for outcomes in a meaningful and measurable way. It is work that matters for patients, and it is work that matters for clinicians.

I’m excited to join Tia as the new Chief Medical Officer and to help build a model that better serves both patients and clinicians. If you are a provider who wants to be part of building that model, we are hiring.
