Plano, Texas, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arkos Health announced the appointment of Eric Tanner as Chief Executive Officer, signaling a new chapter in the company’s growth and mission to transform value-based care. Tanner succeeds Jerry Williamson, who will transition to Executive Director of the Board and Chief Strategy Officer.
Tanner brings a bold, focused vision for advancing Arkos’ integrated care model, driving improved clinical outcomes while enhancing financial sustainability across the healthcare ecosystem. Under his leadership, Arkos will double down on its commitment to delivering scalable, patient-centered solutions powered by data and operational excellence.
“Arkos is building a smarter, more connected approach to value-based care,” said Tanner. “By working across Medicaid, Medicare, and Marketplace, and partnering directly with plans to support their members over the long term, we bring together clinical depth, local insight, and technology at scale. It’s a true honor to lead Arkos into its next chapter as we expand into new markets, scale our proven model, and deliver meaningful impact for members, partners, and the healthcare system as a whole.”
Williamson, a co-founder of Arkos Health and the architect of its platform, will continue to play a key strategic role as Executive Director and CSO. In this capacity, he will focus on long-term innovation, key partnerships, and advancing the company’s proprietary Arkos360® platform.
“Eric is the right leader for this moment,” said Williamson. “I’ve worked alongside him for almost a decade, and what sets him apart is his ability to bring people together, across teams, geographies, and disciplines, to solve hard problems and drive meaningful progress. His discipline, insight, and deep commitment to our mission make him the ideal CEO to guide Arkos into the future. I’m excited to support him as he leads us into this next chapter of growth and impact.”
As Arkos Health deepens its presence in existing markets and expands into new ones, including Georgia and Montana in 2025, the company remains grounded in its One Arkos framework, emphasizing unity, accountability, and results. Tanner’s leadership marks a confident step forward in that journey.
