Upwell Health Appoints Mary Langowski to Board of Directors

Langowski is an established leader with a successful track record of growing businesses and driving new market opportunities. As executive vice president/chief strategy and corporate development officer at CVS Health, she developed programs and partnerships to improve the consumer healthcare experience, including telehealth and chronic disease programs. Langowski also helped facilitate the organization’s evolution as a healthcare company, managed its growth strategy, and led foundational pieces of the health plan acquisition.

“Mary brings extensive knowledge of healthcare policy and the consumer health landscape to Upwell’s Board of Directors,” said Alison Wistner, CEO, Upwell Health. “She is enormously respected in the industry, and we’re excited to tap into her deep experience creating and driving products and solutions that generate value in the healthcare system and for consumers. Her insights on transforming healthcare delivery are critical as we continue to evolve our product and service offerings to better meet the needs of people managing chronic conditions.”

Mary has worked with companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 organizations, and has led initiatives including the creation of new Medicare payment models that enable value-based payment. In addition to her current role as CEO of Rising Tide, a boutique consultancy, Mary serves on the Board of Directors for Avantia Health, BioMatrix Specialty Pharmacy, and Solera Health.

Langowski joins Upwell during a period of rapid growth and transformation. This year alone, the company has announced the appointment of Patrick Grosso as CFO, implemented a new partner pharmacy strategy, and launched UpwellBeing.com, a website designed to help people living with heart health, mental health, diabetes, and dermatological conditions take proactive steps toward healthier living.

“The traditional healthcare system does not adequately meet the needs of people living with chronic conditions,” said Langowski. “Upwell is uniquely positioned to reach and engage consumers where they are, and help them manage their health. I’m proud to have a hand in a company dedicated to helping an underserved population with services, resources, and support.”
