Ardent Health
Ardent Health is betting that a hospital system can stay local while its technology, purchasing and operating discipline scale nationally. Across six states, the result is a care network stretching from the emergency room to the smartphone.
Mike Asselta
Mike Asselta is the chief executive officer of Compassus, one of the largest home-based care companies in the United States, spanning home health, hospice, palliative care and infusion therapy across some 200 locations. Appointed in May 2024, he came from nearly eight years at Fresenius Medical Care North America, where he ran U.S. care delivery and Fresenius Kidney Care - an operation of more than 60,000 employees and 4,000 sites. At Compassus he has bet the company's growth on joint ventures with major health systems like Providence and OhioHealth, arguing that the future of care happens where people actually live: at home.
