Mr. Smith leads Bamboo Health as CEO, overseeing a platform that now supports more than 9 billion annual transactions, including 7.5 billion prescription drug exchanges, across three key product suites spanning care coordination, prescription drug management and behavioral health. Under his leadership, Bamboo has scaled its reach to support 2,500 hospitals, 29 health plans, more than 45,000 pharmacies, 8,000 post-acute facilities, and more than 50 states and territories, enabling partners to close care gaps, proactively identify high-risk patients, reduce readmissions and ease workforce strain.
