1.Can you give us a brief of your career before Zing Health?
I studied public health at Harvard University and medicine at the University of Chicago. As a doctor, I saw that Chicago’s world-class medical care was not reaching the urban communities where I practiced. I served my state as director of its public health department and returned to the U. of C. Medical Center to lead its Urban Health Initiative in population health research and community engagement. Since then, I’ve been a serial entrepreneur in bringing affordable care to underserved populations. I founded Symphonix Health, a prescription drug plan for low-income populations that was sold to UnitedHealth Group and helped found the Medicaid plan NextLevel Health, which sold its assets to Centene Corp.
