November 30 2023
Amida Care President and CEO Doug Wirth has been named to the PoliticsNY and amNY Metro 2023 Power Players in Health Care list, which honors New York State’s top leaders in health care. The list includes the providers, insurers, and policymakers “who have dedicated their careers to ensuring the health and wellness of all New Yorkers while also pioneering positive change and innovation throughout the industry.”
The feature notes Amida Care’s innovative model of care, which has yielded “impressive health outcomes that have improved the quality of health care delivery, helped members get and stay healthy, and produced significant Medicaid cost savings.” Doug is quoted about challenges facing New York’s health care system: “Separate health care systems and the demands of profit over population health are among the biggest challenges. While New York is among the country’s top-performing states in its Medicaid recertification work, we must ensure that Medicaid is adequately funded. We cannot begin to address health inequity or end the HIV epidemic without strengthening Medicaid.”
