# Chris Johnson

> Chris Johnson is the founder and CEO of Bluebird Kids Health, a value-based pediatric primary care company building clinics in 'pediatric care deserts' where children, many of them on Medicaid, lack access to a regular doctor. After scaling Landmark Health's in-home senior care from 12 to 38 states ahead of its acquisition by Optum, Johnson partnered with venture studio Juxtapose and veteran pediatrician Dr. Shannon Fox-Levine to bring the same outcomes-aligned model to kids. Bluebird now serves more than 20,000 patients, raised $31.5 million in 2025, and is expanding across Florida.
