Enlace Health today announced that Dr. Craig Samitt, a nationally recognized physician leader and healthcare executive, has joined its Board of Directors. Dr. Samitt brings deep experience leading healthcare organizations to improve affordability, coordination, and performance – particularly in complex specialty care models.
Bill Nordmark, President and CEO of Enlace Health, said, “We are delighted to welcome Dr. Samitt to our Board. His experience leading organizations to deliver measurable financial and clinical outcomes, along with his understanding of specialty care performance, will be invaluable as we continue to scale our impact.”
Dr. Samitt said, “Specialty care is where much of the cost and complexity in healthcare resides, yet it remains one of the least consistently managed areas. Enlace is bringing a level of discipline, transparency, and operating rigor that has largely been missing. That combination of better insight, tighter execution, and aligned incentives is exactly what’s needed to improve performance in these high-impact areas. I’m excited to join the Enlace Health Board and support a team focused on making that a reality.”
Enlace’s platform supports specialty care operations by embedding analytics, financial accuracy, and coordinated execution into one integrated model. The approach helps organizations identify variation, improve performance, and build reliable pathways for specialty care delivery. Enlace is emerging as a trusted infrastructure partner for healthcare organizations seeking to move from fragmented programs to scalable value-based models.
Dr. Samitt previously served as CEO of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota and as President of Anthem’s Diversified Business Group, where he also served as Chief Clinical Officer. On the provider side, he served as CEO of Dean Health System and held leadership roles at HealthCare Partners (DaVita). He currently advises and serves on the boards of healthcare organizations focused on accelerating the transition to value-based care.
