“It’s so reassuring knowing that the Curana team is available 24/7 if I’m not feeling good and need to speak to someone. I tell everyone here to at least contact Curana Health to learn more. It’s so convenient, and their team cares about their patients so much. It’s about more than just our health; they care about our happiness overall.”

“They know my mom, they know me. Mom can see them every single week until the problem is solved. And my mother has had more problems than you can ever imagine. And I'm just so grateful that there are resources that Curana provides. It's great to not have to drive.”

“At my age and the age of most people here, getting transportation to a place is difficult and it takes a lot of time. With Curana, it's easy, convenient, and it does not take a lot of time. They’re right here.”

“The staff at Curana Health is wonderful. They are personable. They know your first name, they welcome you. They interact with you on a personal as well as a professional level, and that's important. I think knowing people is just as important as knowing their illness or their problem, and everybody at Curana certainly functions in that way. They treat you as a person, first.”

President and Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Chao brings more than two decades of experience in managed care, clinical leadership, and healthcare transformation to Curana Health. Starting his medical career as a hospitalist and nephrologist in Southern California, Dr. Chao has held various leadership positions (including medical director and chief medical officer) within numerous healthcare organizations (including HealthCare Partners). Before coming to Curana, he served as chief executive officer of Optum Health’s western region, where he oversaw operations and care delivery across nine states. Dr. Chao’s expertise spans a range of healthcare models, from fee-for-service to value-based care across Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial plans. His broad experience has honed his ability to lead both clinical and operational teams through the complexities of healthcare delivery models, and his professional insights are shaped not only by his clinical expertise, but also by personal experience (having witnessed firsthand the challenges his elderly parents faced in navigating the American healthcare system).
