John Morgan served as the Chief Clinical Innovation Officer at Virginia Medicaid from 2020-2024 and is now the medical lead at Waymark, a company that provides free, community-based care for people enrolled in Medicaid programs. John will work directly with Waymark’s community-based teams and provider
In the interview, we talk about his experience grappling with the ethical and financial considerations in his role as the clinical innovation officer and what it was like to make decisions about utilization of resources during the COVID pandemic. John is a huge advocate for Community Health Workers and he takes me through the critical role they are playing in Waymark’s model to address social determinants of health, and the broader trend towards value-based care and the need for continued innovation in healthcare delivery. He also wants you to call your state representatives.
