Kristin Rosemond: Leading the Future in ACOs

Forging a path to the future means there is no roadmap to serve as a guide. Kristin Rosemond is a leader who understands this because she’s experienced it by stepping into a strategic leadership role for California as its value-based care model continues to evolve.

As Executive Director of Dignity Health Southern California Integrated Care Network – Ventura County (SCICN-VC) and Dignity Health Care Network (DHCN), Kristin has been a pioneer in leading one of the largest ACOs in the country and helping to develop the service and operation model to grow it.

Rosemond was recently featured on a recent episode of the Becker’s Payer Issues podcast to discuss how value-based care is changing the payer landscape and how Dignity Health is addressing health care inequities.

“She has just stepped in and figured it out, doing whatever needs to be done to help move us all forward,” says Kathy Bristow, System Vice President for Operations and Integration. “She’s constantly collaborating with others and finding the connections that benefit the most people and we’re very grateful for all that she does.”

Rosemond’s inspired by her team and her work’s purpose.

“I am grateful to be on a team with a dynamic group of people, who, like me, are lifelong learners,” she says. “The changes in health care, particularly in the complex California market, can be overwhelming. Focusing on the end goal — improving the care of those we serve, improving health equity and outcomes — and having Faith keep me going.
