Dr. Nate Favini Bio/Background
Dr. Favini brings a wealth of experience to Pair Team, having previously served as Chief Medical Officer at Forward and Director of Primary Care at CareMore. He possesses deep expertise in value-based care, population health management, and navigating complex healthcare environments. As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Favini will oversee Pair Team’s clinical services, lead population health initiatives, and shape the company’s value-based care strategy. He will also be instrumental in developing new clinical programs and services to improve patient health outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs.
“Having started my career in community health settings—practicing in urban community health centers, healthcare for the homeless programs and clinics for justice-involved people— I understand the need to improve the way we care for the people who need it most. Unfortunately, we’ve seen much less innovation in Medicaid than anywhere else in healthcare,” said Nate. “Pair Team is changing that with its unique care model, integrating both medical and social care with a platform that connects providers, payors and community-based organizations. This approach has the potential to completely alter the way care is delivered. To me, it’s the most exciting thing happening in healthcare today and I’m thrilled to be a part of it.”
Expanding Leadership Team for Growth
In addition to Dr. Favini’s appointment, Pair Team announced the following leadership additions:
Connie Kim, Executive Vice President of Operations
Kim will oversee the company’s care operations, scaling its value-based care solution across a network of community partners nationwide. She will also manage general business operations and finance.
Larry Tieu, Senior Vice President of Go-to-Market Strategy and Operations
Tieu will spearhead strategic expansion across California, leading a team focused on network growth, customer relationships, and market intelligence to enhance Pair Team’s offerings. He will also manage strategic partnerships and contracts, ensuring impactful customer engagement and satisfaction.
