CloudMD Appoints Experienced, World-Class Insurance and Health Executive as Chief Innovation Officer - Seite 2

Dr. Essam Hamza, CEO of CloudMD commented, “CloudMD recognizes the importance of team based, integrated, continuity of care and providing whole person healthcare solutions to our patients. Right now, in the United States, almost a quarter (22.3%) of all adults with a mental illness reported that they were unable to receive the treatment they needed and 57.2% of adults with a mental illness received no treatment at all. Over 26 million individuals in the U.S. experiencing a mental health illness are going untreated ⁽¹⁾. It is undeniable that there is a significant disconnect between physical and mental health support. Karen is a pioneer in her field and will be instrumental in navigating CloudMD through the prevailing mental health sector and will be extremely valuable as we look to increase our scope of services by providing both physical and mental health support to our patients. We are thrilled to welcome her to our team and her experience with insurers, advisors and organizations will enable us to change the landscape on how healthcare is available in the workplace.”

“I am excited about the possibility of transforming health and wellness for individuals by offering a new approach to managing health. An ecosystem with the patient at the centre will enable the right care at the right time for the right health issue. We believe that the industry is ready for an innovative way to approach healthcare that empowers an individual to manage their health through informed choices.  The pandemic has brought the importance of individualized healthcare to the forefront. I look forward to working with the team to create industry leading offerings in managing the mental and physical health of individuals.” Karen Adams, Chief Innovation Officer, CloudMD.

Karen will provide vision, leadership and coordination of the Company’s strategy to leverage its healthcare technology solutions and integrated platform of telehealth and EMR solutions to provide a coordinated accessible healthcare platform. Karen will focus on continuing to introduce continuity of care across the CloudMD network by utilizing pioneering approaches to wellness that will support employer, insurers and advisor’s ability to enhance the employee experience through focus on health.
