Jessie Israel, RN, MSN

President of Payer and Business Strategy

I have spent my career in the pursuit of affecting change in healthcare. I started as a floor nurse in the hospital and spent almost a decade in case management. I have a breadth of experience, from acquiring and integrating a home health company into a health system to building clinic care management across hundreds of clinics. In my career, I have put together and lead three accountable care organizations, as well as several clinically integrated networks across five states. I was formerly the creator and head of all things population health for an eight-hospital system, and CEO of two companies supporting nearly 1,000 physicians. My passion is creating ways to leverage our current healthcare system to serve the needs of our patients. I have been described as having an infectious optimism, with a genuine curiosity. I grew up in Montana and have lived in Colorado for more than 20 years. I love to spend time with my kids outdoors learning new things. I know we can make a difference in the lives of all we touch!

I moved to Colorado in 2019 from Texas. I received a bachelor of science in healthcare management from Western Governors University. To strengthen my management skills, I am going back to school to pursue an MBA in healthcare management. My previous work experience includes working in hospitals and small doctors’ offices for the last 9 years. I now manage the business' engine and marketing. Additionally, I ensure that providers have the tools they need to succeed.

I enjoy exploring the Colorado scenery with my husband, traveling, and spending time with my dogs, Heidi and Zoey, in my spare time.
