MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb 13, 2025--

Visana Health, a comprehensive virtual women’s health clinic that goes beyond the narrow scope of family building to provide whole-person medical care for 100% of women, today announced Dr. Chevon Rariy as Chief Clinical Innovation Officer and Mike Tudeen as Executive Chairman. The appointments position Visana Health for growth while strengthening its commitment to expanding access to its virtual-first evidenced-based care model to more women across the U.S.

Dr. Chevon Rariy: A Transformational Leader in Healthcare Innovation

Dr. Chevon Rariy is a physician-executive, healthcare innovator, and recognized industry thought leader. She joins Visana Health with a track record of driving digital health transformation efforts and leveraging value-based models to drive better outcomes, elevate patient experiences, and improve cost efficiency under her leadership at organizations including Oncology Care Partners, Amazon Care and Takeda Digital Ventures.

As Visana Health’s first Chief Clinical Innovation Officer, Dr. Rariy will lead clinical strategy and innovation to create a more comprehensive women’s healthcare model across gynecology, hormonal health, and comorbid chronic conditions—including weight management, hypertension, diabetes, and thyroid disorders. Combining her expertise in clinical innovation, digital transformation and value-based care, Dr. Rariy will also oversee Visana Health’s efforts to establish a center of excellence for women’s healthcare. She is based in the Dallas-Fort Worth region.

“Visana Health has eliminated many of the barriers to care access by first aligning with carrier and employer health plans to provide transformative care for women within the scope of plan coverage and second, by bringing that care to women virtually,” said Rariy. “In a healthcare system driven by immediate acute care needs, Visana Health is leading the way in creating a proactive, best-in-class care model that redefines how we approach women’s healthcare.”

Mike Tudeen: Strengthening Governance & Growth Strategy

Joining Visana Health’s Board of Directors as Executive Chairman, Tudeen brings extensive leadership experience in scaling technology-enabled, home-based healthcare solutions and value-based models that improve patient outcomes at scale. Based in Nashville, TN, Tudeen has served as President and CEO of PopHealthCare, Optum’s EverCare, INSPIRIS and most recently as CEO of CareBridge, the nation’s leading value-based care solution for patients receiving home and community-based services. As an advisor and board member for multiple healthcare organizations, Tudeen brings deep expertise in value-based contracting, healthcare innovation, and operational strategy—insights that will help guide Visana Health’s long-term expansion and strategic growth.

“Value-based care is no longer just an aspiration. It’s a necessity for organizations like Visana Health that deliver comprehensive, whole-person care models at scale. While today’s reimbursement still relies heavily on fee-for-service, the ability to deliver high-quality care under a value-based arrangement consistently over time will define the future,” said Tudeen. “Visana Health is uniquely positioned to transform healthcare delivery for women, and I see tremendous opportunity to leverage value-based models to expand access, improve outcomes and set a new standard of care for women everywhere.”

A Bold Vision for the Future of Women’s Health

“The cost of inadequate care extends far beyond medical expenses—it impacts quality of life, productivity, and overall well-being. These leadership additions strategically position Visana Health for future growth and our ability to bring our comprehensive care model to more women across the U.S.,” said Joe Connolly, CEO of Visana Health. “The combination of Dr. Chevon Rariy’s expertise in clinical innovation and digital transformation and Mike Tudeen’s proven track record in scaling value-based care, Visana Health is on the path to transforming the future of women’s healthcare—one that prioritizes quality, access and whole-person health.”
