Job Description

Overview

ReferWell announces the appointment of Kevin Healy as Chief Executive Officer. Healy will officially assume the role on April 1, 2025.

Healy brings more than 25 years of healthcare industry experience spanning leadership roles across health plans, provider organizations, and healthcare technology firms. His expertise includes strategic business growth, operational transformation, and the integration of innovative solutions to enhance patient access and care coordination. Healy has led teams to improve clinical and financial outcomes. He previously held leadership roles at Optum, where he oversaw major business units and helped shape strategies that improved efficiency and patient engagement, and at Inspiris as Chief Growth Officer, where he led sales and marketing. He also served as chairperson of the RISE conference and sat on the advisory committee for more than 14 years.

"I am excited to be joining ReferWell as CEO at such a pivotal time for the organization," said Kevin Healy. "The company's mission to streamline access to care closely aligns with my passion for healthcare innovation. In the new role I look forward to leveraging my deep experience in healthcare technology to enhance our Care Access Complete offering, drive growth, and ensure that more patients receive the timely and efficient care that they deserve."

Healy joins ReferWell following the transformational work of Vytas Kisielius, who led the company's efforts to elevate care access through innovative solutions that improve patient engagement and health outcomes.

"I greatly value Vytas Kisielius' leadership and contributions over the past nine years, and I am delighted to welcome Kevin Healy to ReferWell to build on the strong momentum achieved during Vytas' tenure as we continue to execute on our mission to get people to the care they need," said Gene Huang, Executive Chairman of the Board. "I believe that Kevin's experience scaling healthcare solutions, fostering strategic partnerships, and leveraging technology to solve critical industry challenges will be key to our success expanding the reach and impact of ReferWell across the healthcare ecosystem."

ReferWell began with a simple but impactful goal: making it easy for patients to find and schedule appointments at the point of care. Since its launch in 2015, the company has evolved its offerings to enable healthcare organizations to elevate care access through its scheduling platform, member engagement strategies, and hands-on program management. ReferWell continues to work with health plans and providers to drive success in value-based care arrangements, helping them overcome administrative hurdles, match members with the right care, and drive outcomes.

In 2025, the company aims to identify new opportunities to apply its care scheduling platform and care concierge service to break down barriers to obtaining and delivering care. ReferWell is connecting data and empathy to positively impact patient health outcomes and improve access to care.
