As the company prepares for significant expansion over the next two years, Palo will lead strategic financial planning, capital management and investor relations while strengthening the financial infrastructure needed to scale Evergreen’s model and improve outcomes for patients.

Palo recently served as Senior Vice President and CFO of two major business units at Teladoc Health: U.S. Group Health and Hospitals & Health Systems, which provide access to care for over 100 million Americans.

He will bring the financial rigor and forward-looking insight required to support disciplined, sustainable growth, and we’re thrilled to welcome him to the team.”

Commenting on joining the company, Palo said, “Chronic and end-stage kidney diseases place a tremendous burden on those affected by them and account for an outsized share of healthcare costs in the U.S. Evergreen’s differentiated partnership model and track record of industry-leading outcomes for patients and payors uniquely position the company to make a meaningful difference in this important area of healthcare. I’m excited to join this high-performing team and help take the company to its next phase of growth.”
