CHICAGO—WellBe Senior Medical has announced the expansion of its leadership team with the appointment of four new members. The company said these additions arrive as WellBe continues to scale its personalized, in-home medical care across the country.
"WellBe is entering a pivotal chapter of growth, and I look forward to having these four leaders join our team," said WellBe CEO Jeff Kang. "Their experience and passion in value-based care are exactly what we need to scale our impact and continue raising the bar for geriatric care nationwide. I'm confident that their leadership will be instrumental in helping us deliver the personalized, at-home care our patients deserve."
Shafina Shehnaz, Chief Financial Officer
Shafina Shehnaz has led due diligence efforts for several in-home medical groups, one of those efforts eventually leading to Optum's acquisition of Landmark. Most recently, she oversaw the fiscal health of Optum Health's care delivery arm as CFO, following a successful tenure as COO for their Midwest region. She worked on regional operations through a focus on practice efficiency, revenue cycle enhancement and disciplined cost management. Shehnaz also led diligence planning, including home-based medical groups. Earlier in her career, she helped UnitedHealth Group expand its ability to care for patients by advising over 35 healthcare-focused companies.
Sabita Lahiri, Chief Transformation Officer
WellBe's new chief transformation officer, Sabita Lahiri, joins WellBe with nearly a decade of leadership in clinical strategy. After serving as senior director of finance at Landmark Health, she transitioned into leadership roles focused on clinical strategy and innovation, eventually overseeing those functions as senior vice president. During her seven years there, she was a primary architect of the clinical models consistently finding new ways to improve patient outcomes in value-based models of care. Her most recent experience as a senior advisor at Rubicon Founders further refined her expertise in healthcare transformation.
Katrina Booth, Chief Medical Officer
Katrina Booth is stepping into the role of chief medical officer. Booth is a board-certified geriatrician and clinical executive with experience in value-based care and large-scale interdisciplinary care models. Most recently, she served as chief quality officer for Optum at Home where she oversaw a range of services from behavioral health to in-home urgent care. A former faculty member at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Booth has also held leadership roles at Landmark Health.
"I love being a geriatrician because I get to connect with people as individuals and hear their unique stories," said Booth. "What makes WellBe so impactful is that we're taking care of patients on a personal level. We're taking care of them as people first and a patient second. It can be hard to find that type of care—the type that makes you feel like you're more than just a number. WellBe's care team and care model truly changes lives."
Cammile Bird, Senior Vice President of Engagement
Most recently at Daymark Health, Camille Bird created an entire patient engagement department, establishing the strategic workflows, KPIs and specialized teams necessary to launch their oncology care services in early 2025. Her expertise in high-touch healthcare environments is further proven by her tenure at Nest Health, where she drove market expansion and optimized engagement for Medicaid families. Prior to these recent leadership roles, she spent several years at Landmark Health where she collaborated with physician-led teams.
