Former CVS Health executive will help Upwell Health innovate and
navigate the evolving healthcare landscape
SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Upwell
Health, a company that makes pharmacy the central point of care for
people with chronic conditions, today announced that Mary Langowski has
joined its Board of Directors. With over 20 years of healthcare
experience, Langowski’s industry knowledge will help Upwell strengthen
healthcare partnerships and ultimately enable its members to better
manage chronic conditions.
Langowski is an established leader with a successful track record of
growing businesses and driving new market opportunities. As executive
vice president/chief strategy and corporate development officer at CVS
Health, she developed programs and partnerships to improve the consumer
healthcare experience, including telehealth and chronic disease
programs. Langowski also helped facilitate the organization’s evolution
as a healthcare company, managed its growth strategy, and led
foundational pieces of the health plan acquisition.
“Mary brings extensive knowledge of healthcare policy and the consumer
health landscape to Upwell’s Board of Directors,” said Alison Wistner,
CEO, Upwell Health. “She is enormously respected in the industry, and
we’re excited to tap into her deep experience creating and driving
products and solutions that generate value in the healthcare system and
for consumers. Her insights on transforming healthcare delivery are
critical as we continue to evolve our product and service offerings to
better meet the needs of people managing chronic conditions.”
Mary has worked with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500
organizations, and has led initiatives including the creation of new
Medicare payment models that enable value-based payment. In addition to
her current role as CEO of Rising Tide, a boutique consultancy, Mary
serves on the Board of Directors for Avantia Health, BioMatrix Specialty
Pharmacy, and Solera Health.
Langowski joins Upwell during a period of rapid growth and
transformation. This year alone, the company has announced the
appointment of Patrick Grosso as CFO, implemented a new partner pharmacy
strategy, and launched UpwellBeing.com,
a website designed to help people living with heart health, mental
health, diabetes, and dermatological conditions take proactive steps
toward healthier living.
“The traditional healthcare system does not adequately meet the needs of
people living with chronic conditions,” said Langowski. “Upwell is
uniquely positioned to reach and engage consumers where they are, and
help them manage their health. I’m proud to have a hand in a company
dedicated to helping an underserved population with services, resources,
and support.”
