Hoboken-based Vytalize Health announced that Dr. Scott Mancuso has been named the company’s inaugural chief physician executive officer.
Mancuso brings extensive leadership experience and clinical expertise from his previous roles at CareMore Health (now Carelon/Anthem), Landmark Health, Honest Medical Group, and Rubicon Founders. A seasoned innovator in risk-based primary care, palliative medicine, and chronic disease management, he will guide Vytalize Health’s clinical strategy to drive value-based care transformation across the care continuum.
“Dr. Mancuso is widely recognized for his forward-thinking leadership in caring for complex senior lives through vertically integrated, advanced primary care,” Faris Ghawi, CEO of Vytalize Health said. “His focus will center on empowering primary care physicians to deliver holistic, longitudinal care that moves beyond reactive sick care models, ensuring patients receive the comprehensive support early and often to achieve better health outcomes.”
Under Mancuso’s leadership, Vytalize Health will continue integrating key resources—such as pharmacists, social workers, and care managers—into a virtual clinic model designed to support primary care providers.
Mancuso will also lead initiatives to address the unique challenges of managing complex chronic conditions such as advanced heart failure, diabetes, COPD, and kidney disease. By leveraging Vytalize Health’s platform, he will work to enhance value-based care coordination across specialties, reducing avoidable hospitalizations and improving the quality of care for patients.
“Healthcare transformation is never about one individual,” Mancuso said. “It’s about the collective effort of dedicated professionals working toward a shared mission. I’m honored to join the incredible team at Vytalize Health in developing future-focused strategies and care models that truly make a difference for patients and providers alike.”
