Whitney, a prominent healthcare venture capitalist and founder of Jumpstart Health Investors (JHI), brings significant expertise in healthcare innovation and a commitment to addressing healthcare disparities.
Whitney's appointment comes at a critical time for IntusCare, which is expanding its technological capabilities to support healthcare providers serving elderly and dual-eligible populations.

As a founding partner of JHI, Whitney has established a reputation for investing in high-impact healthcare solutions that prioritize equitable access to care. His professional background extends beyond venture capital, encompassing roles as an author, Aspen Health Innovators Fellow, and board member for various healthcare and arts organizations.
IntusCare CEO Robbie Felton emphasized the strategic importance of Whitney's expertise, noting that his visionary approach will help the company develop technology that empowers healthcare providers to deliver more effective and compassionate care to underserved elderly populations. Whitney expressed enthusiasm about contributing to IntusCare's mission, recognizing the company's leadership in redefining care for a critical demographic.
Whitney's multifaceted background, which includes being a best-selling author and a co-founder of Nashville Soccer Club, reflects a diverse perspective that could bring innovative thinking to IntusCare's strategic direction. His commitment to healthcare innovation, coupled with his experience in identifying and supporting transformative healthcare technologies, positions him as a valuable addition to the company's board.
The appointment signals IntusCare's continued commitment to leveraging technology to improve geriatric care outcomes. By integrating Whitney's expertise, the company aims to further develop predictive analytics platforms that can enhance patient management and treatment for some of the most clinically complex and socially vulnerable individuals in the U.S. healthcare system.
