Why Watch
Adams and his team are focused on enabling Acentra Health’s vision to be the vital partner for health solutions in the public sector. This includes creating a secure financial foundation that enables continued growth for the company and expands its expertise and capabilities to better serve clients.
Areas of focus include continued investments in learning and training to develop employees and leaders, enhancing benefits to retain and attract top talent, elevating the use of AI to create greater efficiencies in processes, developing technology-enabled solutions and clinical services that improve outcomes while also enhancing the user experience, and enabling enhanced analytics that will help clients leverage data to address the health-related social needs and behavioral health needs of the priority populations they serve.
“David is a strong servant leader who is passionate about accelerating better health outcomes, both in the work we do at Acentra Health and in the volunteer work he does serving his local community,” said Todd Stottlemyer, Acentra Health CEO. “He is a key strategic advisor and leader and has deep experience in mergers and acquisitions, and with private, public and private equity-backed organizations. We hold in highest esteem his guidance in creating the financial foundation that has been instrumental to Acentra Health’s successful growth trajectory since he joined in 2019.”
Fun fact: Adams grew up in the NYC area as a rabid Jets, Knicks and Islanders fan. But he is also a Red Sox fan, which makes the office environment fun with Acentra Health CEO being a Yankees fan.
