With more than 25 years of experience in healthcare, Lon is a passionate advocate for reimagining how…and where…people receive care. As the CEO of Care2U, he leads a mission-driven organization bringing emergency room-level and hospital-grade acute care directly into patients' homes, so that families never have to choose between quality care and the comfort and dignity of home. Lon has spent his career working at the intersection of patients, providers, and payers, driven by a deep belief that the best care meets people where they are. His work in Value-Based Care has centered on building models that put the patient's experience first, a philosophy that resonates deeply with the millions of family members who serve as caregivers for aging loved ones every day. Before founding Care2U, Lon served as SVP of Growth at Optum Home & Community Care, where he led the strategy and expansion of full population management solutions. This work gave him a ground-level understanding of the challenges seniors and their caregivers face when navigating complex health needs at home. Beyond his professional work, Lon is deeply committed to giving back. He is especially passionate about helping seniors live fuller, more connected lives, and about supporting the caregivers who make that possible. He understands that caring for an aging parent or loved one is one of the most meaningful and demanding roles a person can take on, and he brings that empathy to everything he does.
