Matter Health, a medical group delivering on-point healthcare services inside elderly-defined affordable housing communities, has appointed Sarah Chouinard, MD, as Chief Medical Officer. The move marks a strategic milestone as the organization accelerates national expansion and strengthens its value-based care model for vulnerable senior patients.
Dr. Chouinard will oversee all aspects of clinical delivery and healthcare model performance, including quality outcomes, risk management, care program development, and overall operational excellence across Matter Health’s growing footprint. Her leadership arrives at a critical time as healthcare providers increasingly integrate AI in healthcare, predictive analytics, and data-driven patient management to improve outcomes for aging populations.

Previously, Dr. Chouinard served in a senior leadership role at Main Street Health, where she helped scale clinical operations nationally while supporting more than 500,000 members. Her experience designing and operationalizing healthcare delivery systems at scale positions her to guide Matter Health’s next phase of strategic growth and clinical innovation.
Matter Health’s embedded care model is designed to eliminate traditional access barriers by placing interdisciplinary medical teams directly inside affordable senior housing communities. This proximity enables continuous patient engagement, improved medication adherence, proactive chronic disease management, and reduced emergency utilization — key drivers in value-based healthcare performance.

“Sarah brings a rare combination of deep clinical credibility and hands-on experience scaling care models nationally,” said Michael Scarbrough, Chief Executive Officer of Matter Health. As the organization expands into new markets and deepens payer partnerships, her leadership is expected to enhance quality performance, clinical consistency, and measurable patient outcomes.
For the approximately 1.2 million seniors residing in age-restricted public housing communities, access to coordinated healthcare services remains limited. Many face transportation challenges, fragmented medical care, and unmanaged chronic conditions. Matter Health addresses these challenges by combining on-point clinical services with integrated data systems that support risk stratification, preventive care planning, and population health management.
Under Dr. Chouinard’s direction, Matter Health plans to enter multiple new states in 2026, expanding its national presence while enhancing quality oversight and care standardization. As healthcare systems continue using AI in healthcare to support predictive risk models and personalized care pathways, Matter Health’s community-embedded approach reflects a scalable solution tailored for high-risk senior patients.
By aligning clinical expertise, operational scale, and technology-enabled patient engagement, the company is positioning itself as a leader in senior-focused, value-based medical care delivery.
