Kim Phan

Kim Phan is Founder and CEO of CareConnectMD Inc. Ms. Phan has dedicated her professional career focusing on the post-acute care sector developing new care models and systems that can elevate the care for the frail and medically complex seniors. In 1996, she co-founded Gerinet Medical Associates (GNMA), the first SNF’ist medical group in Southern California, as she saw the need for more primary care services in skilled nursing facilities. She later formed Health Essentials in 2006, a management company that managed long-term care physician networks and other post-acute care services including hospice and home health. Recognizing the need for better end-of-life care, she later started several hospice joint ventures with managed care organizations: Talbert/ HCP, Monarch and Caremore Health Plan. In 2010, she started a hospice- focused pharmacy and DME to provide more responsive services for the hospice and palliative care patient populations. Prior to starting GNMA she served as Administrator for FHP Hospital, a 230-bed Acute Care Hospital and FHP Westminster, a 99-bed Skilled Nursing Facility. Ms. Phan holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from University of California, Irvine.
