About

🌟 As a clinical Business Executive with 20+ Years Of Experience, I believe the future of healthcare will be led by those who can blend clinical insight, operational rigor, and technology and data intelligence—while never losing sight of the human experience. I'm proud to be helping build that future. I’m a physician, operator, and board advisor at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and value—committed to building systems that are more connected, data-driven, and patient-centered. With a foundation in Family Medicine, I’ve spent the past 20+ years leading large-scale transformation across care delivery, digital health, and value-based models. As Chief Clinical Executive and interim CMO at Walmart Health, I guided national clinical strategy—spearheading Walmart’s COVID response, leading the acquisition and integration of a telehealth company, and architecting a senior-focused value-based care partnership with UnitedHealthcare/Optum. My experience spans traditional and tech-enabled care: I’ve scaled virtual care platforms, implemented clinical analytics to drive performance, and led digital transformation in both legacy systems and startup environments. I’ve advised on AI and data strategy for care coordination and population health, aligning innovation with clinical and operational outcomes. Beyond the private sector, I serve on the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC), which advises the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CMS on value-based payment models—bringing the voice of clinicians and patients into national healthcare policy. I bring this perspective to my board roles with PhysicianX, CareCo, and US of Care, and through my work as a Fractional CMO and innovation advisor—partnering with PE-backed companies, digital health ventures, and provider organizations to navigate complexity and deliver measurable value. ⚕️Radically restructuring the care continuum. 🚀 Scaling Excellence While Preserving Quality 💼 Delivering on Clinical and Financial Outcomes 💡Embracing Innovation for the Future of Healthcare Chinnip [at] gmail [dot] com
