06 Septiembre 2023 - 3:01PM
Alignment Healthcare, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALHC) today announced the
return of Dr. Hyong (Ken) Kim, as its chief medical officer (CMO)
effective Sept. 25. Dr. Kim will report to company Founder and CEO
John Kao.
Dr. Kim played an integral role in Alignment’s founding and,
from 2013 to 2018, served as CMO of Alignment Healthcare, where he
co-developed, built and managed Alignment’s clinical operations
team. In addition, he helped design and implement the clinical
foundation for Care Anywhere and AVA®, the company’s care model and
in-house, artificial intelligence-enabled data analytics platform,
respectively.
“Ken helped build Alignment from the ground up when we started a
decade ago, and we are delighted to welcome him back to the team at
this pivotal time,” Kao said. “With his intimate knowledge of
Alignment, his track record of success and his unique policy
perspective, we are confident Ken will help us continue to scale
and champion a new path in senior care.”
Most recently, Dr. Kim served as Chief Clinical Officer at
CareConnect MD. Prior to CareConnect MD, he was the CMO of the
Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) from July 2018
to July 2019, where he advised on all payment and clinical model
development. He also chaired the Quality Improvement Council,
creating operational pathways for performance reviews for all 36
CMMI models. Before helping found Alignment, he was one of the
clinical leaders at CareMore Health, ultimately serving as CMO from
2009 to 2013. As CareMore’s CMO, Dr. Kim scaled the company’s
value-based care, chronic disease management and population health
capabilities, resulting in best-in-class quality and cost
outcomes.
“It’s an honor to return to Alignment,” Dr. Kim said. “I am
excited to step back into the CMO role and look forward to helping
this patient-centric company evolve and grow as it continues to
deliver affordable, high-quality care to seniors nationwide.”
Board-certified in internal medicine, Dr. Kim completed his
medical residency at Loma Linda University and holds a bachelor’s
degree and M.D. from Indiana University. While he is a pioneer in
population health, he considers himself a physician first and is
committed to serving those in need of health care services by
participating in health care ministries around the world.
Additionally, Dr. Kim has served on several boards of directors and
lectured on effective risk management, clinical quality outcomes
and value-based payment at the University of California,
Irvine.
