Hailey How

Hailey How is a Master’s of Public Health candidate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and co-founder of Origin Healthcare. Origin Healthcare’s flagship initiative, the Hospitalist-at-Home program, extends hospitalist-level care directly to patients’ homes for acute medical issues. This unique approach allows patients who would typically require hospital or emergency department care to receive comprehensive, intensive treatment at home. The program involves frequent visits and advanced services, ensuring patients receive the necessary care in a familiar and comfortable environment. This model addresses the growing need for age-friendly infrastructure, catering to the 80% of older adults with at least one chronic condition and the 25% who face access issues due to costs. With the U.S. senior population expected to double to 95 million by 2050, the need for accessible, home-based care is increasingly urgent.

Hailey is a dynamic healthtech executive with over a decade of experience at the intersection of healthcare and AI. Driven by a lifelong goal to become a serial entrepreneur, she utilizes technology to innovate healthcare solutions and tackle aging-related challenges. As a co-founder of Origin Healthcare, Hailey oversees all commercial operations, market expansion, and technology integration programs crucial for delivering advanced, hybrid care solutions. Origin Healthcare has achieved significant milestones, including a record of zero patient safety events and a 97 net promoter score. The company has served over 1,500 patients and established more than 16 contracts with payers, ACOs, employers, and providers. Origin Healthcare is also expanding geographically to meet growing demand. 

Previously, Hailey distinguished herself at Google Cloud and Verily, where she generated over $1 billion in revenue and pipeline, and applied AI in operations for over seven years. Her outstanding contributions earned her prestigious awards, including the Top Leader and Global Spotlight Award at Google. 

As a Cheng Fellow, Hailey will continue working to reshape the healthcare landscape by ensuring high-quality, accessible care for chronically ill patients and older adults, and addressing systemic barriers to healthcare access.
