Meet the People Driving Our Vision

Shawn Fry

Founder & CEO, OptimalMD

As the founder, Shawn brings over 25 years of healthcare administration experience. His roles in CIO of multiple regional hospital systems so his expertise is the delivery of coordinated care. To improve patient outcomes and manage costs, he pioneered medical data analytics starting in 2006 which turned into a very successful company called Prevalent Health which was acquired by private equity in 2019. He had access to over 60 million patients to give him unparcelled insight into the cost and quality of care.

OptimalMD was founded to put patient needs first and close the gap between the cost, quality and availability of care.
