CEO

Ron Morales

“I started this company when I realized patients and providers are not on the same page when It comes to healthcare interactions. Providers are often only concerned with delivering medicine and patients simply want to feel better.  Patients don’t go to a doctor thinking they’re going to come out of a visit worse than they went in, so the relationship between the two halves of a visit isn’t the problem — developing a standard definition for a successful care visit for patients and providers alike is.”

President, COO

Roger Cheek

“I have a fundamental belief that the current system will not work for the new care consumers of today. The digital natives will not consume healthcare as the baby boomers did, nor should they! careNext wants to empower the next generation of care consumers or careSumers, as we like to call them, deserve and will demand a better system of consuming healthcare.”

CTO

Kyle Gerstner

“Healthcare delivery has not fundamentally changed for 2000 years.  If someone is sick, they need someone to cure them! The most important event in healthcare is the visit. Everything else is simply noise!”
