Head of Population Health Remote or Hybrid
Position: Head of Population Health New Remote or Hybrid
Wellth is a fast-growing, growth-stage digital health company headquartered in Los Angeles. Our mission is to motivate people living with chronic conditions to make healthier choices, every single day.
We use behavioral economics, habit science and AI to motivate lasting behavior change in some of the highest need and most underserved populations in the US (Medicare and Medicaid), drastically changing their quality of life and health outcomes. We have demonstrated results with many large insurers and health systems (e.g. reducing hospitalizations by over 40%), and are now rapidly scaling. Early in 2025, we completed a Series C with experienced healthcare investors including Mercato and Signal Fire.
Our goal is to be the category leader in improving health outcomes for hard-to-engage populations. A key difference at Wellth compared to other digital health companies is that our users (Members) actually use Wellth every single day - think Tik Tok-tier daily engagement (and data generation!).
But most importantly, our work quite literally saves lives by stabilizing chronic disease patients and preventing disease progression, hospitalization, and other bad outcomes. We are a mission-driven company where you work with incredible talent and see tangible differences directly from your impact and influence.
