The healthcare-influencing entity created by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase has named itself Haven. Its goal is to “create better outcomes, greater satisfaction, and lower costs for their U.S. employees and families.” Haven, which is based in Boston, is led by CEO Atul Gawande, M.D., a surgeon at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard professor, and noted author.
Its website notes that Haven is focused initially on “the U.S.-based employees and families from Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JPMorgan Chase. In time, we intend to share our innovations and solutions to help others.”
Haven’s leadership team contains some names familiar to the Massachusetts healthcare community. Dana Safran, a former SVP of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, who focused on improvement and data analytics, is Haven’s Head of Measurement. Brooke Thurston, who was recently VP of Communications for Steward Health Care, is Haven’s Head of Communications.
