Leadership
Adam Chabira
President & CEO
Adam has a long background in primary care operations, value-based care, and care for underserved populations. It’s this mix of experiences that led to the creation of Actualize Health.
For the first nine years of his career Adam worked for the Baylor Scott & White Health System in Dallas, Texas. There he helped build and lead the Baylor Community Care program, a network of nine primary care clinics and supportive programs targeting uninsured and underinsured patients who frequented Baylor hospitals and emergency rooms. Innovative community-based programs included hospital-to-primary care transitional care, disease education, and pharmaceutical access support. Adam likes to say this work was “population health management before we called it population health management”.
From 2014 to 2022 Adam served on the Board of Directors of HHM Health, a Dallas-area Federally-Qualified Health Center that grew from humble origins as a volunteer clinic to one of the region’s largest providers of health care for the underserved.
