agilon health Appoints Tim O’Rourke as Chief Executive Officer

Key Terms

value-based care medical

A health-care delivery approach that rewards providers for keeping patients healthy and improving outcomes instead of charging for each test or visit. For investors, it matters because it shifts where profits and losses come from—favoring providers and technologies that lower long-term costs, prevent complications, and demonstrate measurable results; think of it like paying a contractor only when the house stays sound, which changes who wins and loses financially.

medicare advantage regulatory

Medicare Advantage is a type of health insurance plan offered by private companies that covers services traditionally provided by government-run Medicare. Think of it as a bundled package that combines hospital, doctor, and other medical care into one plan, often with added benefits. For investors, it matters because the popularity and profitability of these plans can influence healthcare companies and the broader health insurance industry.

dual eligible regulatory

People who qualify for both Medicare (federal health coverage for older adults and certain disabled people) and Medicaid (a state-run program for low-income individuals) are called "dual eligible." Think of it like someone who has both a full-price warranty and a low-income discount — they get coverage from two programs with different rules and payments. Investors care because dual eligibles represent a large, often costly patient group whose care is paid at different rates and is sensitive to government policy, affecting providers’, insurers’ and drugmakers’ revenues and regulatory risk.

population health medical

Population health is the practice of improving the overall health and well‑being of a group of people — such as residents of a region or users of a health plan — by preventing illness, managing chronic conditions, and coordinating services. Think of it like maintaining a city's infrastructure: healthier populations need fewer emergency repairs and lower long‑term costs. For investors, stronger population health can reduce healthcare spending, stabilize revenue for providers and insurers, and lower financial risk tied to disease outbreaks or rising chronic care needs.

Healthcare industry veteran with more than 25 years of payor, provider and value-based care leadership to lead agilon’s next chapter

Appointment follows comprehensive search led by the Board of Directors

Ronald A. Williams to continue as Chairman of the Board

WESTERVILLE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- agilon health (NYSE: AGL) (the “Company”), the trusted partner empowering physicians to transform health care in our communities, today announced the appointment of Tim O’Rourke as Chief Executive Officer and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, effective May 7. He succeeds Ronald A. Williams, who has served as Executive Chairman since August 2025 and will continue as Chairman of the Board.

The appointment comes as agilon enters a new phase following a period of significant operational and financial transformation led by Executive Chairman Ron Williams and the Office of the Executive Chairman. With that work well underway, the Board sought a leader who can build on the Company’s strengthened foundation and capitalize on the long-term demand for physician-led, value-based care.

O’Rourke brings more than 25 years of healthcare leadership with a distinctive combination of payor expertise and hands-on experience working with providers in value-based care settings. Most recently, he served as President of Help at Home, the leading national provider of in-home person-centered care for Medicare, Medicaid and Dual Eligible patients with complex chronic conditions, where he led thousands of caregivers across a highly distributed national operation and championed a culture centered on supporting the people on the frontlines of care delivery. O’Rourke also held a broad set of leadership roles at Humana over 17 years, developing deep expertise in Medicare Advantage and value-based care across both payor and provider settings. He was formerly Chief Executive Officer of Ascension Complete, a multi-state provider-integrated Medicare Advantage plan, where he led value-based clinical and population health operations. O’Rourke serves as Vice-Chair of Jefferson's Board of Trustees, which oversees Thomas Jefferson University, Jefferson Health and Jefferson Health Plans. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Health Administration from Northern Illinois University.

“Over the past year, our team has done the hard work of strengthening agilon’s foundation, improving our data and technology capabilities, supporting our partners in clinical pathways, reshaping our relationships with key payors, and ensuring that our partnerships deliver sustainable value for physicians, patients and payors alike,” said Ronald A. Williams, agilon's co-founder and Executive Chairman. “With that work behind us, Tim is the right leader to take agilon forward. He has operated on both sides of the healthcare equation, from inside the world of distributed care delivery and across a leading Medicare Advantage payor, and brings a deep understanding of what is needed to succeed in value-based care. Equally important, he leads with a culture of caring for the caregivers themselves and deep respect for the complexity of the patient journey, which is central to everything we do at agilon. I look forward to partnering with him as we capitalize on the significant opportunities ahead and deliver long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

“agilon was founded on the belief that empowering primary care physicians to manage the total health of their patients would produce better outcomes and a more sustainable healthcare system,” said Ravi Sachdev, agilon’s founder and Vice Chairman of the Board. “That mission is more relevant today than ever, and Tim shares our conviction in it. He has spent his career at the intersection of payors and providers, building the payment frameworks and care models that make value-based care work in practice. His commitment to supporting the people who deliver care every day gives me great confidence that agilon is entering its next chapter with the right leader at the helm.”

“agilon has built a distinct platform that puts primary care physicians at the center of how care is delivered and paid for in this country,” said O’Rourke. “The transformation this team has driven over the past year, from improvements in data and analytics to a more disciplined approach to contracting and cost management, has created a strong foundation for delivering high-quality clinical care to senior patients. I’m energized by the opportunity to work alongside agilon’s physician partners and leadership team to support the company's performance and growth in the years ahead.”
