Lupe Herrera
Vice President, Strategy and Clinical Integration
Emanate Health
At Emanate Health, Lupe Herrera leads the areas of business development; physician enterprise (physician recruitment and physician practice acquisitions); direct health plan contracting.
Herrera has worked to help develop an integrated delivery system. She collaborated on developing and operationalizing the Emanate Health Medical Care Foundation, which is a 1206(l). This has a significant impact on health care delivery, as it aligns physicians, hospitals and ambulatory services under a unified, nonprofit enterprise. As part of the build of the medical care foundation, Herrera has successfully negotiated direct contract with major health plans. This allows Emanate Health to drive coordinated, preventative and hospital- aligned care. She has played a critical role in integrating outpatient preventive primary care, specialty care, and acute hospital services, creating a cohesive care continuum that improved access, coordination and financial performance.
