Pottharst previously served in executive leadership roles at innovative healthcare organizations CareMore Health, Kaiser Permanente and Cityblock Health.I am thrilled about this opportunity to leverage CCAs and SCANs collective expertise to launch a new company that will improve the health of older adults in need across the country, said Pottharst. This is a personal calling for me and I am especially excited that SCAN and CCA share my passion for building a new aging-in-place model to transform care for older adults.Jain, Palmieri, and Pottharst will all serve on the new companys board of directors. In 2021, CCA began a multi-year, mission-aligned geographic diversification growth strategy to extend its proven care model throughout the United States.
