PatientGenie is excited to announce the addition of Christopher Northam to our leadership team. As we continue to expand and enhance our healthcare solutions, Christopher's wealth of experience and leadership will be instrumental in driving our mission forward.
Christopher's distinguished career began in the military, where he served as an Army Medical Service Corps Officer specializing in healthcare operations and logistics. His time in service included notable assignments with the 82nd Airborne Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC), and the Pentagon. After transitioning to the private sector, Christopher took on pivotal roles at Humana, where he led the Technology and Communications Procurement group and founded the Clinical Innovation division.
At HCA Healthcare, Christopher established and led the Enterprise Telehealth service line, an initiative that transformed virtual healthcare services. Following nearly nine years at HCA, Christopher spent time at Wellvana, focusing on value-based care and clinic acquisition. He also founded Addicity Health, a consulting practice dedicated to healthcare strategy and operations.
In addition to his professional accomplishments, Christopher remains an active leader, serving on various boards as a Director/Advisor while continuing to serve as a Colonel in the Army Reserve Medical Command. His diverse expertise across military, private, and healthcare sectors positions him as a key driver in PatientGenie's continued growth and innovation.

Imagine this: You wake up with a lingering back pain and say, “I need to see a chiropractor as soon as possible.” And just like that — while you’re making your coffee — the appointment is scheduled. The provider is in-network, accepts new patients, fits your availability, and is less than 10 minutes from your home. That’s the future we expect from technology. After all, if Siri can book a dinner reservation or check the weather in Bali, why can’t she handle something as critical as your healthcare? The short answer? Because healthcare is different. And that’s exactly where PatientGenie comes in.
