Sarah Richards
Chief of Staff
I build new ways to deliver care. I’ve done it inside one of the largest health companies in the country, and on my own as a founder. I love pairing creative ideas that take joy and play seriously with rigorous clinical programs. Over eight years at UnitedHealth Group and Optum, I built digital health businesses, including the national launch of Optum’s virtual primary, behavioral health, and urgent care business, which grew to 2,000 patient visits a day in ten months. I also launched a primary care clinic for LGBTQ+ patients that now serves people in five states. Most recently, I founded Embers Health to help families plan for end of life. Outside of work, I'm a painter and writer. I live in Denver with my husband and two dogs.
